1
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:07,470
Input function the input function allows to take input from the user.

2
00:00:07,470 --> 00:00:11,960
And this is the syntax for the input function.

3
00:00:12,210 --> 00:00:16,690
So let's call the input function.

4
00:00:16,810 --> 00:00:27,770
I have called the input function and when I executed I have a box here that is displayed in the output.

5
00:00:27,850 --> 00:00:34,480
So because the input function is used to take input from the user.

6
00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:37,630
So let enter Some text here.

7
00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:40,420
I'm gonna see how are you.

8
00:00:40,420 --> 00:00:51,470
And then hit enter the interpreter has displayed what ever text I have entered in the squared box that

9
00:00:51,470 --> 00:00:53,420
was displayed here.

10
00:00:53,420 --> 00:01:03,470
Python has taken the line that I have entered and then printed what ever line it got.

11
00:01:03,950 --> 00:01:07,490
But it is not obvious what is going on here.

12
00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:09,320
So let's do one thing.

13
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:15,130
Let's assign the input function to a variable and then execute this in.

14
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:22,570
So I have a squared box again just below the Input cell.

15
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,820
So I'm now going to end it.

16
00:01:25,820 --> 00:01:31,870
How are you and then hit enter now.

17
00:01:32,020 --> 00:01:45,480
Let's display a So the variable E has been assigned the text whatever was input from the keyboard but

18
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:53,460
in real life the user has to know what a program is asking him or her to enter.

19
00:01:53,850 --> 00:02:00,900
Let's say I'm going to assign the input function to a variable just like we did before.

20
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,960
I'm going to enter this text.

21
00:02:03,060 --> 00:02:12,280
How old did you then execute the cell.

22
00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:21,660
As you can see the text that we have passed as a parameter to the input function is reproduced in front

23
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:23,670
of the place we type.

24
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:32,120
And this is called a prompt because it promises to enter something I am hundred and then hit enter.

25
00:02:32,250 --> 00:02:34,610
And now let's display the variable.

26
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:46,590
So a is a string as you can see it is the number hundred is enclosed in quotes.

27
00:02:46,770 --> 00:02:53,210
Let check the type of the variable a it is a string.

28
00:02:53,210 --> 00:02:54,660
The input function.

29
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,150
Convert.

30
00:02:56,330 --> 00:03:04,340
What about the user has entered into a string so that is the reason the variable e is of the data type

31
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:05,630
string.

32
00:03:05,630 --> 00:03:15,620
Now if you want to convert into another data type say for example I want to convert the input from the

33
00:03:15,620 --> 00:03:17,660
user into an integer.

34
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,310
I'm gonna pass this message How old are you.

35
00:03:23,150 --> 00:03:33,080
So this will be displayed to the user and I want to convert the message that the user has entered into

36
00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:33,830
an integer.

37
00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:41,920
I'm going to parse the input function as a parameter to the integer function I N D.

38
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:43,990
So let's execute this.

39
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:53,540
So I'm gonna say hundred into and then display a it's hundred.

40
00:03:53,540 --> 00:03:58,650
Now check the type of a it's an integer now.

41
00:03:58,970 --> 00:04:06,530
So when the input function is called the program flow will be stored until the user has given an input

42
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:12,830
and has ended the input with D in case of the Jupiter notebook.

43
00:04:12,830 --> 00:04:22,700
When the user hits the shift and enter keys the text that we have endured here for the input function

44
00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:24,730
is optional.

45
00:04:25,620 --> 00:04:32,360
And the text that we enter here will be reproduced in front of the place we type.

46
00:04:32,430 --> 00:04:38,500
But just call a prompt because it prompts us to enter something.

47
00:04:38,930 --> 00:04:44,540
And this brings us to the end of this tutorial on built in functions.
