its referenced under Edit->BuildSetting->Input

Each axis has a main input and an alternative pre done for you. to access them directly through code you access them via a string pasthrough. aka Input.GetKey("Vertical"){} or Input.GetKey("Horizontal"){} Works similar to how SceneManager handles build index with strings. if the list of scenes has a scene with the name called it returns that scene by name for example. similar method applies here. because Vertical and Horizontal Exist within the Axis' list we can call it by string in an Input.GetKey() GetKeyDown() or GetKeyUp();

thanks for your reply. I am building a game like zig-zag and added a UI button Jump . So my player(Ball) should only change direction when we tap on screen , and it's working fine on pc as well . But after running on my android device it's not working as when i tap on UI the player's direction is also changing so please help. I am really in great confusion.
