READING INPUT FROM THE KEYBOARD (INPUT OPERATION )
Python provides us with two inbuilt functions to read the input
from the keyboard.
– raw_input()
– input()
raw_input(): This function reads only one line from the standard
input and returns it as a String.
Note: This function is decommissioned in Python 3.

input(): The input() function first takes the input from the user
and then evaluates the expression, which means python
automatically identifies whether we entered a string or a number
or list.
But in Python 3 the raw_input() function was removed and
renamed to input().

• eval() : Function takes a string and evaluate the result
OUTPUT OPERATION
• In order to print the output, python provides us with a built-in
function called print().

FILES IN PYTHON
A file is a named location on the disk which is used to store the
data permanently.
Here are some of the operations which you can perform on
files:
