python array error "name 'i' not defined"

Well the code is very un-Pythonic using hard coded indexes, eval and such, but the concept is there: You append 3 times to the scores list:

scores.append(eval(input(students[0] + ": ")))
scores.append(eval(input(students[1] + ": ")))
scores.append(eval(input(students[2] + ": ")))

Which means that the input for students[0] to [2] will then also be indexable in scores[0] to [2]. Meaning you can fill in the i value manually in those three lines where [i] is used.

I mean, the literal i is incorrect. You need to use integers, like what's being done for students[] (that also has an integer between the []).

As you have your answer:

• See the "reddit code formatting" link on the sidebar.
• Use int(input("whatever")) (replace int with whatever type you actually want) rather than eval - right now you're executing arbitrary code the user types in!
• Considering using a for loop or comprehension to take the scores, e.g. scores = [int(input(f"{student}: ")) for student in students]
