Inputting a varible

[BlathaBlather]

Say I had a list called 'rade' and in it was [1,2, 3, 4, 5,] and I also had another list called 'spam' and in it was  [6,  7, 8, 9, 10,]
I want to input that I want to use the list 'rade'. How can I input it so it would work?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

rade = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ] spam  = [6, 7, 8, 9, 10] choice = input("Chose a list") if choice[1] == 2:     print("Congratulations") else:     print("Sorry...")

Your if statement has nothing to do with your question
From your question, I would expect the input to be either rade of spam.
if you want to input an integer I would suggest:

1 2 3 4 5 6

try:    choice = 0    while choice not = 1 and choice not = 2:        choice = int(input('Please enter 1 for rade, 2 for spam: )) except ValueError:    print('Requested 1 or 2')

Neither... it's a very bad idea to code it like this. What you can do is either use an array:

1 2 3

lists=[[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ],[6, 7, 8, 9, 10]] list_number = int(input("Chose a list: 1 for rade, 2 for spam")) chosen_list=lists[list_number-1]

... or a dictionary:

1 2 3

lists={"rade":[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ],"spam":[6, 7, 8, 9, 10]} list_name = input("Chose a list among: "+','.join(lists.keys())+": ") chosen_list=lists[list_name]
