I have this assignment where i have to create a list asking users to input 3 or 5 of their favorite movies, then im suppose to take that input and create a list with it and after display the list.
limit = 3
movieslist = []
while len(movieslist) < limit:
movie = raw_input("Enter The Name Of Your favorite Netflix movie" )
print
movieslist.append(movie)
print "The Following Is A List Of Your Top 3 Favorite Netflix Movies:"
for x in movieslist:
print x
You can use the insert method
print "In the Following Program Enter Your Top 10 Favorite Netflix Movies When Prompted"
print ""
limit = 10
movieslist = []
while len(movieslist) < limit:
movie = raw_input("Enter The Name Of Your Top Movie(s) From Netflix" )
print
movieslist.insert(0,movie)
print "The Following Is A List Of Your Top 10 Favorite Netflix Movies:"
for x in movieslist:
print x
append since it inserts at the beginning, so the movies will appear in reverse order. The equivalent would be insert(len(movieslist) - 1, move). It looks weird, but so is disallowing append.Your professor's request is weird and I don't know if it'll satisfy her, but this'll work:
movieslist.extend([movie])
or equivalently:
movieslist += [movie]
This would also work but isn't using a while loop:
movieslist = [raw_input("....") for i in range(limit))]
append, while append is the most basic operation for building up a list. Being expected to make a list with a variable number of elements without being taught append is nonsense.Here's a roundabout way if you want to troll/impress/confuse your professor:
def movie_generator():
i = 0
limit = 3
while i < limit:
i += 1
yield raw_input("prompt")
movieslist = list(movie_generator())
printby inserting\n(the newline character) at the beginning or end of theraw_inputprompt string, e.g.raw_input("Enter...Netflix\n")
