Basically, the data that enters the system is referred to as input, while the data that sent out

of the
system is referred to as output. A simple way to remember the difference between this two is that you
can consider input to be anything that goes into the program, and output to be anything that comes
out of it at the end of the program.

Providing a source of input to a system is typically part of the process that takes place within that
system. The input that you provide will then go through some sort of processing and be altered in
some way before it is used to produce the output that you ultimately obtain.

This is how a system work, like for example, Imagine a restaurant in which the chef is provided with
essential ingredients such as eggs, flour, and milk and that is considered an input. After that, he
repurposes these parts in order to create something entirely new, which is a cake and that is an
output.

Another example would be the ATM. We enter the exact amount, which is referred to as an input,
and then it automatically counts the money or processes it and provides us the amount that we
require, which is referred to as an output.
