    Note

    The final t doubles before -ing, just as put becomes putting, so the spelling is inputting, never inputing. As a gerund it overlaps with the noun input, which also names the act of putting in. The gerund takes a direct object (inputting the figures). The noun needs of (the input of the figures), so choose by construction rather than meaning.
