如何将用户输入存储到 Python 列表中

Question

I'm having a bit of trouble putting user inputs into a list. I basically want the user to input about 5 thing and have each item stored in the list individually. I then want to display all the input in said list. If anyone can give any bit of guidance it will be greatly appreciated. This is what i have so far:

mylist=[1,2,3,4,5]

print mylist

print"Enter 5 items on shopping list"

for i in mylist:
    shopping=raw_input()

print shopping

Answer 1

I strongly urge you to read through the Python docs which provide you with some basic examples of list operation - open up a shell, and type those examples out for yourself. Basically you want to store someone's input into mylist , so there is no need to predefine it with values:

mylist=[]

Now you want to prompt a user 5 times (to enter 5 items):

print "Enter 5 items on shopping list"
for i in xrange(5): # range starts from 0 and ends at 5-1 (so 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 executes your loop contents 5 times)
    shopping = raw_input()
    mylist.append(shopping) # add input to the list

print mylist # at this point your list contains the 5 things entered by user

This is my way of storing input into a list:

list = []
i = 1
while i < 6:
    a = input("Please enter " + str(i) +  " list : ")
    list.append(a)
    i+=1
print(list)
