How to get create list from user input.

 

 Below you'll learn how to make a list from user input.

Get a list from user input with range function:

	li = [] # Empty list
	n = False # n is False
	while not n: # While loop till n is False
	try: # Initiate Try/Except block
	n = int(input('How many elements:')) # Integer input
	except ValueError: # Catcht exception and print Error
	print('Give another try.')
	for k in range(0, n): # Iterate over range n
	while n > 0: # Loop While till n is bigger than 0
	try: # Try/Except block to catch Exception
	li.append(int(input('Enter your elements\n>'))) # Add to list user integer input
	print(li)
	n-=1
	except ValueError: # Print an Error if user enters no integer
	print('wrong.Try again with number.')
	print(f'Your list:',li)

How many elements:3
>1
[1]
>2
[1, 2]
>3
[1, 2, 3]

Get a list from user with while loop:

	count= 0
	li= []
	while count < 5:
	try:
	count += 1
	li.append(int(input(f'Enter element for Loop {count} >> ')))
	except ValueError:
	print('wrong.Try again with number.')
	print(f'List has elements {len(li)}: {li}')

Enter element for Loop 1 >> 1
Enter element for Loop 2 >> 2
Enter element for Loop 3 >> 3
Enter element for Loop 4 >> 4
Enter element for Loop 5 >> 5
List has elements [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Simply one liner:

Good method if we don't care what type of input we want user to enter.

	li = [input('Enter 1st item:'), input('Enter 2nd item:'), input('Enter 3rd item:') ]
	print(f'Your list elements: {li}')

Enter 1st item:first
Enter 2nd item:second
Enter 3rd item:third
Your list elements: ['first', 'second', 'third']

Process finished with exit code 0
