Input while interation in a list

[jefsummers]

When you know how many times you want to go through the loop, better to use a for statement. While is more for loops where you are less sure of the number of iterations and want to check for a condition.

x = []
for count in range(5):
    print(count)
    x.append(count)
print (x)

Output:
0
1
2
3
4
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

To use while, instead, your code is closer

x = []
count = 0
while count<5 :
    print (count)
    x.append(count)
    count+=1
print (x)

Gives same output, but you can see the code is slightly longer because you are manually handling "count"
