Input is what goes into something and output is what you get out. In terms of computing, data going in is input and data that comes out is output. When you type something on your keyboard, you are sending input to your computer. It responds by displaying what you type on your monitor. That is output. Movements and clicks with your mouse are the same. They are inputs. You see the pointer move on your screen, which is output. When you print something or if you are playing music on your computer, that is output. Installing software can be input, or copying files onto your computer from a disc, a USB key, a digital camera etc. can also be input.

Output: Anything that allows you to acquire information from a computer is an output device. (monitor, printer)

How do you do in and out in math?
Assuming by in you mean input and out you mean output. Input is the value that goes in while the output is the value you receive. Between these terms is a rule, called the nth term that will always work to help you find the input/output. For example. Our input is 2, and our output is 10 the rule here could be the input multiplied by 5 equals the output, or it can be something extremely difficult and unfathomable even to a banker...
