(Post 5/Year 1 Week 1)Learning python part 5:Python basics-Input

Continuing from last post...

Input

So far we have been setting the numbers and string beforehand.In this post,we will will explore how the user can input a number and example of converting temperature Fahrenheit to Celsius with the user input.

##input() for user input,save the user input to the variable somebody
print("Enter your name: ")
somebody = input()
print("Hi", somebody, "how are you today?")

Output

The output below show that the program "pauses" and await the user input

Next,I input my name:eric,the variable somebody will save my input

Converting number with user input

Next,we will be converting temperature Fahrenheit to Celsius with the user input.

print ("This program converts Fahrenheit to Celsius")
print ("Type in a temperature in Fahrenheit: ",)
##save the user input to the variable fahrenheit
fahrenheit = float(input())

##convert the fahrenheit to celsius
celsius = (fahrenheit - 32) * 5.0 / 9


##print out the celsius temperature
print ("That is", celsius,"degrees Celsius")

Output

The output below show that the program "pauses" and await the user input

Next,I input my Fahrenheit temperature,the variable Fahrenheit  will save my input and print it out

In the next post,we will be touching GUI(Graphic User Interface)
