What is the differences between “1” and 1?
Is “1” known as outcome
1 known as input
Hey there, … the difference I see there is just their data types , one is a string and the other an integer… or what differences did you have in mind?

Thanks so much Kyle. I’m just a beginner and just learning the basis. Can you send any link to me that can improve my knowledge in python. Cheers!
This is just a guess on my part, but perhaps you are asking about what happens when you enter a number after a Python program prompts you for input. For some guidance regarding that process, you can consult the official documentation on the built-in input() function. See input(prompt).
Note that the documentation states, in part:
The function then reads a line from input, converts it to a string …
Therefore, if you enter 7 at the prompt, the input() function would return the value "7", which is a string. In order to use it as a number for some mathematical computation, you would need to convert it for that purpose. Here is an example:
num = int(input("Enter an integer to be squared: "))
print(f"{num} squared is {num * num}.")
Here is some example input and output during a run of the program:
Enter an integer to be squared: 7
7 squared is 49.
