## Wiring program inputs
Leo's compiler will build a **circuit** out of the **main.leo** program. Open up **inputs/hello.in**.
Files ending in **.in** provide inputs to the program. You can also specify program arguments via the [command line](05_commands.md#leo-run).
```leo title="inputs/hello.in"
// The program input for hello/src/main.leo
[main]
public a: u32 = 1u32;
b: u32 = 2u32;
```

An input file begins with a section enclosed in square brackets `[ ]`.
The `main` inside the square brackets indicates that we are defining the inputs to the transition function `main`.
You can only define inputs to [transition functions](03_language.md#transition-function).

```leo
[main]
```

An input assignment shares syntax with an explicit variable assignment in normal `.leo` files.
Here we assign the value `1` of type `u32` to the `public` input named `a`.
We also assign the value `2` of type `u32` to the (private, by default) input named `b`.
Leo's compiler will fetch these values and provide them as inputs to the circuit at proving time.

```leo
public a: u32 = 1u32;
b: u32 = 2u32;
```

Now let us use the Leo CLI and see what other commands we can run on our program.


Previously we ran the program with `leo run`.
This command builds and runs the program natively.
```bash
leo run
