question about input, while loop, then print

[jamie_01]

#!/usr/bin/python3

'''
name #1 : april
name #2 : brett
name #3 : susan


>> create list
'''

count = 1
while (count <= 3):
    name = input ("Name #: ")
    count += 1

count = 1
while (count <= 3):
     print(" \n", count, name)
     count += 1

##########  end program

Output:
jamie@box3:~/python_tut$ ./list_sort.py 
Name #: brett
Name #: april
Name #: susan
 
 1 susan
 
 2 susan
 
 3 susan

please, only the last item of the list is printing. Also, how could I add "count" variable to the input () function to add a digit to each input line? For example, Name #1: Name #2:, Name #3? Thanks. I spent quite a bit of time on this today.

Have you used lists yet? here is an example of appending items to a list and then loop through the items of the list.

names = []

for number in range(1, 4):
    names.append(f"name: {number}")


for name in names:
    print(name)

Output:
name: 1
name: 2
name: 3

See if you can incorporate a list into your code.

Better to get the names from a text file or list than enter them 1 by 1

path = '/home/pedro/Desktop/'
myfile = '100names.txt' # each name on a new line
names_data = open(path + myfile, 'r')
data = names_data.readlines # data is now a list of the names
names_data.close()

You can see all the names in data like Yoriz said:

for d in data:
    print(d)

If you want a to get 2 values on input:

num, name = input('Enter 1 number and 1 name, separated by 1 space ... ').split()

Note: num is a string, if you want a number: mynumber = int(num)

Have fun!

Another way

names = []
counter = 1

while True:
    name = input('Enter Name: ')
    if name == 'q':
        break

    names.append(f'{counter}. {name}')
    counter += 1

    for name in names:
        print(name)

Output:
Enter Name: john
1. john
Enter Name: jane
1. john
2. jane
Enter Name: sue
1. john
2. jane
3. sue
Enter Name: bob
1. john
2. jane
3. sue
4. bob

what do you think, thanks!

#!/usr/bin/python3
names = []


for number in range (1, 4):
    scan_input = input ("Enter your name: ")
    names.append(f"name: {scan_input}")

for name in names:
    print(name)
