Taking Input from User
for ($x = 0; $x <= 10; $x++) {
echo "The number is: $x <br>";
}
for (i = 0; i < cars.length; i++) {
text += cars[i] + "<br>";
}
C++
cin >> x;
//Takes the value from user and stores in x
Java
Scanner user_input = new Scanner( System.in );
String first_name;
System.out.print("Enter your first name: ");
first_name = user_input.next( );
Python
person = input('Enter your name: ')
print('Hello', person)
PHP
//In PHP taking input from user will need a PHP form
<form action="welcome.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name">
E-mail: <input type="text" name="email">
<input type="submit">
</form>
C++
cout << "Output sentence"; // prints Output sentence on
screen
cout << 120;
// prints number 120 on screen
cout << x;
// prints the value of x on screen
Java
System.out.print( name );
Python
Write Operation/ Output
for item in items:
print(number, item)
number = number + 1
PHP
person = input('Enter your name: ')
print('Hello', person)
echo "Hello world!";
