Unable to implement loop count - zukochew - Jul-25-2018
Hello all,
I have difficulty trying to count and print number of loops and implement it as solution number.
The codes are below. Any help would be appreciated!
def solutionnames():
numofsol= input("How many solutions are there?")
listofnames= []
loops=0
for i in range(int(numofsol)):
loops +=1
NamesofSol=input("Name of Solution",str(loops))
listofnames.extend([NamesofSol])
print(listofnames)
return(listofnames)
solutionnames()

you are going about this the wrong way:
def solutionnames():
listofnames = []
while True:
name = (input("Name of Solution: 'quit' to stop: "))
if name == 'quit':
break
listofnames.append(name)
return(listofnames)
if __name__ == '__main__':
print(solutionnames())test:Output:arz60p@linux-nnem: src:$python ziggy.py
Name of Solution: 'quit' to stop: Jeff
Name of Solution: 'quit' to stop: Mary
Name of Solution: 'quit' to stop: Susan
Name of Solution: 'quit' to stop: Glugger
Name of Solution: 'quit' to stop: Toff
Name of Solution: 'quit' to stop: quit
['Jeff', 'Mary', 'Susan', 'Glugger', 'Toff']RE: Unable to implement loop count - zukochew - Jul-25-2018
Hello Larz60+,
Thanks for replying to my request.
However, my desired outcome is
Name of Solution 1: 'quit' to stop: Jeff
Name of Solution 2: 'quit' to stop: Mary
Name of Solution 3: 'quit' to stop: Susan
Name of Solution 4: 'quit' to stop: Glugger
Name of Solution 5: 'quit' to stop: Toff
Name of Solution: 'quit' to stop: quit
The difference is the number input after "Name of Solution". I apologise for not clarifying beforehand.

Use string formatting:
input("Name of Solution {}: 'quit' to stop: ".format(loops))Format puts the item passed to it in place of the braces ({}). If you pass it multiple arguments, it can replace multiple braces. And far more complicated stuff.
