Python Prep 06: User Interaction & Type Conversion (Input, Int, Float, Str)
Your programs are about to get a whole lot smarter! In Class 6, we learn how to make Python ask questions using the input() function.
However, there is a catch: Python treats everything a user types as a "String." We’ll solve this by mastering Type Conversion (also known as Type Casting), allowing us to turn text into numbers for math and back again!
What you will learn today:
The input() Function: How to pause a program and wait for the user to type.
The "String Trap": Why input() + input() might give you "1010" instead of "20".
Type Casting/Conversion: * int(): Converting text or decimals to whole numbers.
float(): Converting text or integers into decimal numbers.
str(): Turning numbers into text so they can be combined with other messages.
Practical Project: Building a basic "Age Calculator" or "Sum Tool" that uses both input and conversion.
