python 2.7 - Ask for user input in a while loop -
this example supposed 5 words, print them in reverse order. this tried: n = 5 while n > 0: print "tell me word", n word(n) = raw_input() n = n - 1 print r = 1 while r < 6: print word(r) r = r + 1 what correct way assign this? you can using list. words = [] python won't let assign using unassigned index, need call append method: n = 5 words = [] while n > 0: words.append(raw_input('tell me word: ')) n -= 1 notice can use first argument raw_input print prompt, there's no need separately. can use quicker -= decrement , reassign n . a while loop sort of unusual choice here, although works. you'd better off for loop using python's built-in range function. for n in range(5): words.append(raw_input('tell me word: ')) once you're doing can shorten list comprehension , assign list @ once: words = [raw_input('tell me word: ') n in range(5)] once you've got...
