# Python has a print function
print("I'm Python. Nice to meet you!")
# => I'm Python. Nice to meet you!

# By default, the print function also prints out a newline at the end.
# Use the optional argument end="whatever" to change the end string to "whatever".
print("Hello, World", end="whatever")
print("Hello, World", end="!")
# => Hello, World!

# To skip the end-of-line newline or character entirely:
print("hey", end="")

# You can print multiple things, separated by commas:
print("hey", "hey")

# An optional sep argument defines the character that joins all the printed elements
print("hey", "hey", sep="")
# This is the default, which you don't need to explicitly request:
print("hey", "hey", sep=" ")

# input() get's data from standard in (keyboard)
print("Type something in:")
my_input: str = input()
print(my_input)

# You can give an optional pre-printed message:
my_input: str = input("Type something in:\n")
print(my_input)

# You can skip storing it in a variable, if you want:
print(input("Type something in:\n"))

# input() ALWAYS returns the data as a string, event when you type a number.
my_input: str = input("Type in a number")
print(my_input)
print(type(my_input))

my_input: int = int(input("Type in a number"))
print(my_input)
print(type(my_input))

# Note: In earlier versions of Python (2),
# input() method was named as raw_input()
# Python2 is effectively dead; don't use it...
