Python Input, Composition & Modulus Explained

The document explains the input() function in Python for taking user input, highlighting that input is read as a string by default. It also covers composition, where the result of one function can be used as input for another, and provides examples. Additionally, it describes the modulus operator (%) for finding remainders and its common uses, such as checking if a number is even or odd.

Input, Composition and Modulus Operator

Created by: Prof. Pratiksha Rajnoor

1. Input

Definition:

In Python, the input() function is used to take data (information) from the user.

Syntax:

variable_name = input("Enter something: ")

Explanation:

The text inside quotes is shown on the screen (a prompt).

The user types something and presses Enter.

The input is always read as a string (text) by default.

Example:

name = input("Enter your name: ")

print("Hello,", name)

If you need a number as input:

age = int(input("Enter your age: "))

print("You will be", age + 1, "next year.")

2. Composition

Definition:

Composition means combining multiple operations or functions together to perform a task


in a single expression.

In simple terms: You can use the result of one function or operation as the input to another.
Example:

name = input("Enter your name: ")

print("Your name in uppercase is:", [Link]())

Here, the input() function’s result is used directly inside print(). That’s composition —
combining input() and print() in one statement.

Another example:

print(int(input("Enter a number: ")) + 5)

Explanation:

1. input() takes user input.

2. int() converts it to a number.

3. print() displays the final result — all in one line.

---

3. The Modulus Operator (%)

Definition:

The modulus operator % gives the remainder after dividing one number by another.

Syntax:

result = a % b

Example:

print(10 % 3) # Output: 1

print(8 % 2) # Output: 0
Common Uses:

To check if a number is even or odd:

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

if num % 2 == 0:

print("Even number")

else:

print("Odd number")

To find cycles or repeat patterns (like every 7th day, every 3rd element, etc.)
