Question:
In some programming languages, like C#, Python etc. We can't directly take int/float as input from user. Instead, we take string from user as input, and typecast that input into integer or float. Why can't we directly take int/float as input from user?

I suppose that's a decision made by the developers of the language! I mean, in theory you could take raw bytes from the user and interpret them as IEEE-754 floating point, too? I guess the default mode of inputting anything is a string, and then converting that using the cast (which implies parsing the bytes as a floating point string...) makes a certain amount of sense?

But AFAIK, we can directly take int as input in C & C++. Correct me if I am wrong?
