Python Input and Output Exercise

Updated on: September 6, 2021 | 85 Comments

In Python, we can use the input() to accept input from a user and print() to display output on the console. Also, we can use Python for file handling (Reading, writing, appending, and deleting files).

This Python Input and Output exercise aims to help Python developers to learn and practice the Python built-in functions print() and input() to perform input and output tasks. Also, we will solve exercises to practice file handling in Python.

Exercise 1: Accept numbers from a user

Write a program to accept two numbers from the user and calculate multiplication

Help: Take user input in Python

Show Hint
  • Use Python 3’s built-in function input() to accept user input
  • Convert user input to the integer type using the int() constructor.
Show Solution
num1 = int(input("Enter first number "))
num2 = int(input("Enter second number "))

res = num1 * num2
print("Multiplication is", res)

Exercise 2: Display three string “Name”, “Is”, “James” as “Name**Is**James”

Use the print() function to format the given words in the mentioned format. Display the ** separator between each string.

Expected Output:

For example: print('Name', 'Is', 'James') will display Name**Is**James

Show Hint

Use the sep parameter of the print() function to define the separator symbol between each word.

Show Solution
print('My', 'Name', 'Is', 'James', sep='**')

Exercise 3: Convert Decimal number to octal using print() output formatting

Given:

num = 8

Expected Output:

The octal number of decimal number 8 is 10

Show Hint

Use the %o formatting code in print() function to format decimal number to octal.

Show Solution
num = 8
print('%o' % num)

Exercise 4: Display float number with 2 decimal places using print()

Given:

num = 458.541315

Expected Output:

458.54
Show Hint

Use the %.2f formatting code in print() function to format float number to two decimal places.

Show Solution
num = 458.541315
print('%.2f' % num)

Exercise 5: Accept a list of 5 float numbers as an input from the user

Refer:

  • Take list as a input in Python.
  • Python list

Expected Output:

[78.6, 78.6, 85.3, 1.2, 3.5]

Show Hint
  • Create a list variable named numbers
  • Run loop five times
  • In each iteration of the loop, use the input() function to take input from a user
  • Convert user input to float number using the float() constructor
  • Add float number to the numbers list using the append() function
Show Solution
numbers = []

# 5 is the list size
# run loop 5 times
for i in range(0, 5):
    print("Enter number at location", i, ":")
    # accept float number from user
    item = float(input())
    # add it to the list
    numbers.append(item)

print("User List:", numbers)

Exercise 6: Write all content of a given file into a new file by skipping line number 5

See:

  • Python file handling
  • Python Read file
  • Python write file

Create a test.txt file and add the below content to it.

Given test.txt file:

line1
line2
line3
line4
line5
line6
line7

Expected Output: new_file.txt

line1
line2
line3
line4
line6
line7
Show Hint
  • Read all lines from a test.txt file using the readlines() method. This method returns all lines from a file as a list
  • Open new text file in write mode (w)
  • Set counter = 0
  • Iterate each line from a list
  • if the counter is 4, skip that line, else write that line in a new text file using the write() method
  • Increment counter by 1 in each iteration
Show Solution
# read test.txt
with open("test.txt", "r") as fp:
    # read all lines from a file
    lines = fp.readlines()

# open new file in write mode
with open("new_file.txt", "w") as fp:
    count = 0
    # iterate each lines from a test.txt
    for line in lines:
        # skip 5th lines
        if count == 4:
            count += 1
            continue
        else:
            # write current line
            fp.write(line)
        # in each iteration reduce the count
        count += 1

Exercise 7: Accept any three string from one input() call

Write a program to take three names as input from a user in the single input() function call.

See: Get multiple inputs from a user in one line

Show Hint
  • Ask the user to enter three names separated by space
  • Split input string on whitespace using the split() function to get three individual names

Expected Output

Enter three string Emma Jessa Kelly
Name1: Emma
Name2: Jessa
Name3: Kelly
Show Solution
str1, str2, str3 = input("Enter three string").split()
print('Name1:', str1)
print('Name2:', str2)
print('Name3:', str3)

Exercise 8: Format variables using a string.format() method.

Write a program to use string.format() method to format the following three variables as per the expected output

Given:

totalMoney = 1000
quantity = 3
price = 450

Expected Output:

I have 1000 dollars so I can buy 3 football for 450.00 dollars.
Show Solution
quantity = 3
totalMoney = 1000
price = 450
statement1 = "I have {1} dollars so I can buy {0} football for {2:.2f} dollars."
print(statement1.format(quantity, totalMoney, price))

Exercise 9: Check file is empty or not

Write a program to check if the given file is empty or not

Show Hint

Use os.stat('file_name').st_size() function to get the file size. if it is 0 then the file is empty.

Show Solution
import os

size = os.stat("test.txt").st_size
if size == 0:
    print('file is empty')

Exercise 10: Read line number 4 from the following file

See:

  • Read Specific Lines From a File in Python
  • Python read file

Create a test.txt file and add the below content to it.

test.txt file:

line1
line2
line3
line4
line5
line6
line7
Show Solution
# read file
with open("test.txt", "r") as fp:
    # read all lines from a file
    lines = fp.readlines()
    # get line number 3
    print(lines[2])

See: Read Specific Lines From a File in Python for different solutions.
