    This document discusses how to take user input and print output in Python. It explains that Python uses the input() function to take input, while earlier versions used raw_input(). It also covers using the print statement to output text, and using string formatting with the format() method to control how values are displayed in printed text. Index numbers and named indexes can be used inside curly brackets to format multiple values or the same value in different places.

    Reading Keyboard Input

    Python allows for user input. That means we are able to ask the user for input. Python version
    3.6 uses the input() method. Python version 2.7 uses the raw_input() method. The following
    example asks for the username, and when you entered the username, it gets printed on the
    screen.
    Python provides two built-in functions to read a line of text from standard input, which by
    default comes from the keyboard. These functions are −
     raw_input
     input
    The raw_input Function: The raw_input([prompt]) function reads one line from standard input
    and returns it as a string (removing the trailing newline).

    str = raw_input("Enter your input: ")


    print "Received input is : ", str

    This prompts you to enter any string and it would display same string on the screen. When I type
    "Hello Python!", its output is like this −
    Enter your input: Hello Python
    Received input is : Hello Python
    The input Function: The input([prompt]) function is equivalent to raw_input, except that it
    assumes the input is a valid Python expression and returns the evaluated result to you.

    str = input("Enter your input: ")


    print "Received input is : ", str

    This would produce the following result against the entered input −

    Enter your input: [x*5 for x in range(2,10,2)]


    Received input is : [10, 20, 30, 40]
    Printing to the Screen
    The simplest way to produce output is using the print statement where you can pass zero or more
    expressions separated by commas. This function converts the expressions you pass into a string
    and writes the result to standard output as follows −
    print "Python is really a great language,", "isn't it?"
    This produces the following result on your standard screen −
    Python is really a great language, isn't it?
    String format()
    The format() method allows you to format selected parts of a string. Sometimes there are parts of
    a text that you do not control, maybe they come from a database, or user input? To control such
    values, add placeholders (curly brackets {}) in the text, and run the values through
    the format() method:

    Example: Add a placeholder where you want to display the price:


    price = 49
    txt = "The price is {} dollars"
    print(txt.format(price))
    Result: The price is 49 dollars

    You can add parameters inside the curly brackets to specify how to convert the value:

    Example: Format the price to be displayed as a number with two decimals:


    txt = "The price is {:.2f} dollars"
    Result: The price is 49.00 dollars

    Multiple Values
    If you want to use more values, just add more values to the format() method and add more
    placeholders.
    print(txt.format(price, itemno, count))

    Example: quantity = 3
    itemno = 567
    price = 49
    myorder = "I want {} pieces of item number {} for {:.2f} dollars."
    print(myorder.format(quantity, itemno, price))
    Result: I want 3 pieces of item number 567 for 49.00 dollars.

    Index Numbers
    You can use index numbers (a number inside the curly brackets {0}) to be sure the values are
    placed in the correct placeholders.

    Example: quantity = 3
    itemno = 567
    price = 49
    myorder = "I want {0} pieces of item number {1} for {2:.2f} dollars."
    print(myorder.format(quantity, itemno, price))

    Also, if you want to refer to the same value more than once, use the index number.

    Example: age = 36
    name = "John"
    txt = "His name is {1}. {1} is {0} years old."
    print(txt.format(age, name))

    Named Indexes
    You can also use named indexes by entering a name inside the curly brackets {carname} but
    then you must use names when you pass the parameter values txt.format(carname = "Ford").

    Example: myorder = "I have a {carname}, it is a {model}."


    print(myorder.format(carname = "Ford", model = "Mustang"))
