When you want to introduce data to a programm computer we use an input. Then, this information is processed and you can show the result. This last thing is called output.
A simple example of input is what you type in your keyboard and an example of output is anything you view on your computer monitor.

Now, in python we have something called variables. They are reserved memory locations to store values. We have different kinds of them:
- Numbers: Data is stored like a numer value.
- integer: whole numbers
- float: real numbers with a decimal point
- String: A series of characters
- Lists: Values stored, it contains separated items.
- Tuples: They are like a list, but they cannot be updated.
- Dictionary: Is like a collection of data type.

To end this blog, let’s do an example. The user will enter an input and then we are going to show an output.
