This document covers basic input and output in Python, including how to use the print() and input() functions. It discusses taking user input with input(), converting data types with functions like int() and float(), and string operators like concatenation and replication. The key takeaways are that print() sends output to the console, input() gets user input, and input() can optionally prompt the user. It concludes with congratulating the reader on completing the module objectives of learning Python's basic I/O, data types, variables, and operators.

1. Module 1
operations, basic operators,data types, variables,
basic input-output

a computer

2. Module 1 How to talk to a computer
The input() function
input() print()
• print() sends data to the
console;
• print() has no usable
result;
• input() return a very
usable result;
• input() is able to read data
entered by the user;

3. Module 1 How to talk to a computer
input() function with an argument
anything = input("Tell me anything...")
print("Hmm...", anything, "...Really?")
anything = input("Enter a number: ")
something = anything ** 2.0
print(anything, "to the power of 2 is", something)
Traceback (most recent call last): File ".main.py",
line 4, in <module> something = anything ** 2.0
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for ** or
pow(): 'str' and 'float'

4. Module 1 How to talk to a computer
Type casting
int()
float()
anything = int(input("Enter a number: "))
something = anything ** 2.0
print(anything, "to the power of 2 is", something)
anything = float(input("Enter a number: "))
something = anything ** 2.0
print(anything, "to the power of 2 is", something)

5. Module 1 How to talk to a computer
The length of a hypotenuse
leg_a = float(input("Input first leg length: "))
leg_b = float(input("Input second leg length: "))
hypo = (leg_a**2 + leg_b**2) ** .5
print("Hypotenuse length is", hypo)
leg_a = float(input("Input first leg length: "))
leg_b = float(input("Input second leg length: "))
print("Hypotenuse length is " + str((leg_a**2 + leg_b**2) ** .5))

6. Module 1 How to talk to a computer
String operators: concatenation
fnam = input("May I have your first name, please? ")
lnam = input("May I have your last name, please? ")
print("Thank you.")
print("nYour name is " + fnam + " " + lnam + ".")
May I have your first name, please? Henri
May I have your last name, please? Julien
Thank you.
Your name is Henri Julien.

7. Module 1 How to talk to a computer
String operators: replication
"James" * 3
• JamesJamesJames
3 * "an"
• Ananan
5 * "2" or "2" * 5
• 22222
string * number
number * string

Key takeaways
1
• The print() function sends data to the
console
2
• The input() function gets data from the
console
3
• The input() function comes with an optional
parameter

10. Congratulations! You have
completed Module 1.
Well done! You've reached the end of Module 1 and
completed a major milestone in your Python programming
education. Here's a short summary of the objectives
you've covered and got familiar with in Module 1:
• the basic methods of formatting and outputting data
offered by Python, together with the primary kinds of
data and numerical operators, their mutual relations
and bindings;
• the concept of variables and variable naming
conventions;
• the assignment operator, the rules governing the
building of expressions;
• the inputting and converting of data;
