Operations on indexed variables in loop - Fibulavie - Aug-14-2019
Hello,
Beginner in Python and having spent about 4 hours in this very simple operation, I now rely on your expertise. I'm used to Javascript and in JS you can when you have sets of variables defined (say they're array or matrices), create a loop on those variables indexes to create new ones.
The input variables are defined such as v1, v2, v3, ..., v10 and I want to create new variables such as v11, v12, ..., v20; using the numbers in the name of the variables in the loop index
in my language it'd be:
for i in range (0,10): v[i+10]=v[i]/2Must precise that I'm using Python code into an embedded software so it knows what are the v1, v2, etc...
Any idea what's wrong in here?
Many thanks!

All is wrong. You don't need to create a lot of the same variables, just use lists or dictionaries instead. Every book I read explains lists and dicts on the first ten pages.
