Operation #3: Output

Our statements so far,

speed = input()
duration = input()
distance = duration * speed

have calculated the quantity distance based on the input values of speed and duration, but we don't know what it is because that value exists only inside the memory of our computer. To see it we need to output it where we can look at it. The most common output command in Python is the print statement. To print the value of distance we would simply use the command,

print distance

We can also print the values of expressions, e.g.

print 2**8 - 1
