Input - Output in Python: Department of Mechanical Engineering

Python provides two functions, raw_input() and input(), to read input from the keyboard. Raw_input() reads a single line as a string, while input() evaluates the input as a string, number, or list. Python also uses the print() function to output results. Files in Python can be opened, read, written to, and closed to permanently store data on disk.

INPUT – OUTPUT

IN PYTHON

DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING


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:
 open a file
 read file
 write file
 close file
