Programming Fundamentals Lab Manual (Python)

Lab 02 — Comments, Input, Output and Basic Programs

Introduction

Programming languages allow humans to communicate instructions to computers. In this lab we


study the most fundamental operations: displaying information, receiving input, documenting code,
and writing complete programs. Understanding these basics is essential before moving towards
decision making and loops.

Output using print()

The print() function sends data to the standard output device (monitor). It can display text, numbers,
variables and expressions.

print("Hello World")
print(25)
print(2+3)
x=10
print("Value of x:",x)

Escape Sequences

Escape Meaning
\n New line
\t Tab
\\ Backslash
\" Double quote
\' Single quote

print("Line1\nLine2")
print("Name:\tAli")

Input using input()

The input() function pauses the program and waits for the user to type a value. The entered value is
always stored as string, therefore conversion is required for numeric calculations.

name=input("Enter name: ")


age=int(input("Enter age: "))
cgpa=float(input("Enter CGPA: "))
print(name,age,cgpa)

Type Conversion

Python is strongly typed. Mathematical operations require compatible data types.

a="10"
b=5
print(int(a)+b)
Comments

Comments are ignored by the interpreter and help humans understand the code.

# This is a single line comment

"""
This program demonstrates
multi line documentation
"""

Complete Program Example

name=input("Enter name: ")


roll=input("Enter roll number: ")
course=input("Enter course: ")
print("\nStudent Details")
print("Name:",name)
print("Roll:",roll)
print("Course:",course)
Practice Programs

length=float(input("Length: "))
width=float(input("Width: "))
print("Area=",length*width)

c=float(input("Celsius: "))
print("Fahrenheit=",(c*9/5)+32)

p=float(input("Principal: "))
r=float(input("Rate: "))
t=float(input("Time: "))
print("SI=",(p*r*t)/100)
Exercises

Display name, print pattern, average of numbers, unit conversion, percentage calculation.

Viva Questions

Difference between input and print, type casting, escape sequences, comments, runtime errors.
