Programs typically receive input from outside the program. Otherwise, the program would always follow exactly the same path.

From the terminal (asks the user for something).

As a command line parameter (run the program like

u, where dippadappaduu would be the first command line parameter).

From an HTTP request, if it is a web application

We have so far become acquainted with only one of Python's built-in functions, print, which prints to the terminal. Now we will get to know its counterpart, input, which reads input from the terminal.

In Python, texts can be combined with each other using the plus (+) operator.

We can create a program that greets the user:

Make a program that asks for a player's name and then prints: "Pelaaja 1: Annettu nimi"

Task 1

Player name

## What is input?

Programs typically receive input from outside the program. Otherwise, the program would always follow exactly the same path.

Input can come from, for example:

- From the terminal (asks the user for something).
- As a command line parameter (run the program like** python3 app.py dippadappadu**u, where dippadappaduu would be the first command line parameter).
- From file on disk
- From the online service
- From an HTTP request, if it is a web application
- ...and from anywhere else.

## input function

We have so far become acquainted with only one of Python's built-in functions, print, which prints to the terminal. Now we will get to know its counterpart, input, which reads input from the terminal.

```python
name = input("What is your name?")
print(name)
```

```sh
python3 ./app.py
What is your name? Act
Act
```

## Merging Texts

In Python, texts can be combined with each other using the plus (+) operator.

```python
print("A" + "B" + "C")
ABC
```

We can create a program that greets the user:

```python
name = input("What is your name?")
print("Hello, " + name)
```

```sh
python3 ./app.py
What is your name? Act
Hello, Teo
```

## Exercise

Example of how the program should work:

```sh
python3 ./app.py
What is the player's name? Act
Player 1: Action
```

Let's learn the basics of programming with Python. Aimed at complete beginners.

Welcome to the Python programming course! This course is intended for anyone who wants to learn to program in the Python language but has no previous programming experience. Python is a very popular programming language used in various applications, such as web development, data processing, artificial intelligence, and data analytics.

The aim of the course is to provide you with basic knowledge of Python programming and help you develop your skills step by step. We will go through basic concepts such as variables, conditional statements, and loops, and you will learn how to use Python for data processing.

The course consists of various learning materials, such as videos, written materials, and exercises, that allow you to apply what you have learned in practice. As the course progresses, you will learn more complex programming concepts and techniques and achieve a solid foundation in Python programming.

It is highly recommended to take this course immediately after the basic course, as understanding vulnerabilities is much easier if you understand code. Besides, coding is fun!

Are you ready to start your journey in the world of Python programming? Join this exciting course and start learning today!
