Modifying user inputed array elements.

Question

I'm trying to write an array of 5 elements that are user inputted. If the element is divisible by 5, 10 should be added to the element. I have the basic code for the array:

p= [ 0 for i in range(5) ]
print ("Enter an integer number: ")
for i in range (5):
p[i]= int(input())
print ("The modified array is", p)

But I don't know how to modify (i)?

As far as I understand I have to use enumerate, but how s that applied to a input value?

for i,x in enumerate(p):
if x % 5 ==0 :
   p[i] + 5

But this does not modify the array at all? What am I doing wrong?

You said "if the element is divisible by 5, 10 should be added" but you are adding 5. — Sheldore

Store the change made back into p[i]

for i,x in enumerate(p):
    if x % 5 ==0 :
        p[i] = p[i] + 5

You can change it while asking for input itself :

p=[]
for i in range(5):
    num=int(input())
    if(num%5==0):
        p.append(num+10)
    else:
        p.append(num)

# input : 1 2 3 4 5
# p : 1 2 3 4 15

This is what I am looking for, thanks, but output is: The modified array is [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 15] Why is range 10 elements instead of 5?

@WheatBall output is?

"The modified array is [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 15]"

Initialize p=[] not p= [ 0 for i in range(5) ]
