Is there a way to make variables with a for statement using the variable from the for statement in order to add a number to the end of the variable name?
Here is an example of what I'm trying to achieve:
for i in range(1,9):
grade+i = round(float(input(firstprompt)))
type+i = input(secondprompt)
I think it is better for you to use list or dict object for that instead
For list
grade = []
type = []
for i in range(1,9):
grade.append(round(float(input(firstprompt))))
type.append(input(secondprompt))
For dict
grade = {}
type = {}
for i in range(1,9):
grade["grade"+str(i)] = round(float(input(firstprompt)))
type["type"+str(i)] = input(secondprompt)
grade+i and type+i for a dictionary aren't going to work...you can't add an integer to a dictionary.
i to the strings "grade" and "type" like that (it raises a TypeError).I thought i wouldn't really be possible, but I realized you could use exec in a for loop to achieve that effect:
prompt1 = 'Enter a number:\n'; prompt2 = 'Enter a string:\n'
for i in range(1, 9):
exec('grade{} = int(input(prompt1))'.format(i))
exec('type{} = input(prompt2)'.format(i))
Although as Andreas suggested, a list would probably be better.
