REST APIs with Flask and Python - Getting User Input

This video tutorial covers how to get user input in Python, focusing on defining variables and using the input function. It explains the importance of converting string input to numbers for mathematical operations and demonstrates how to handle type errors. The tutorial also introduces f-strings for formatting output and provides a challenge to enhance the output display. The video concludes with a brief overview of formatting floating-point numbers and offers additional resources for further learning.

What function is used in Python to get input from the user?

• read()

• print()

• input()

• scan()

What type of data does the input function return?

• Integer

• Float

• String

• Boolean

Why can't you perform mathematical operations directly on the input received from the input function?

• Because it returns a float

• Because it returns a boolean

• Because it returns a list

• Because it returns a string

How can you convert a string input to an integer in Python?

• Using the bool() function

• Using the int() function

• Using the float() function

• Using the str() function

What is the purpose of using an f-string in Python?

• To read files

• To perform mathematical operations

• To write data to a file

• To format strings with variables

How can you format a floating-point number to two decimal places in an f-string?

• Using .2b

• Using .2f

• Using .2s

• Using .2d

What is the result of formatting 46.3 to two decimal places using an f-string?

• 46.03

• 46.30

• 46.3

• 46.300
