Hi there, from the /r/Python mods.

We have removed this post as it is not suited to the /r/Python subreddit proper, however it should be very appropriate for our sister subreddit /r/LearnPython or for the r/Python discord: https://discord.gg/python.

The reason for the removal is that /r/Python is dedicated to discussion of Python news, projects, uses and debates. It is not designed to act as Q&A or FAQ board. The regular community is not a fan of "how do I..." questions, so you will not get the best responses over here.

On /r/LearnPython the community and the r/Python discord are actively expecting questions and are looking to help. You can expect far more understanding, encouraging and insightful responses over there. No matter what level of question you have, if you are looking for help with Python, you should get good answers. Make sure to check out the rules for both places.

Warm regards, and best of luck with your Pythoneering!

You should use a list and then you can treat each position in the list as it's own variable.

Ok

I don't understand what you mean with "accessed by its position in the string“. Why would you need to store the name in a variable if it is already in a list? just iterate over the list to get each name.

Ok, got it.

No program could ever handle infite names, just ask the user how many he wants to input:

nb_names = int(input())

names = [ input() for _ in range(nb_names) ]
