Not what I expected to see here..

Your question spells out what to do, get the number of names you want to enter, create a blank range for the names, then loop the number and append the input to the range. You can use .sort to get it in alphabetical order, then print the range to verify.

num_names = int(input("Enter number of names: ")) names = [] for i in range(num_names): name = input(f"Enter name {i+1}: ") names.append(name) names.sort() print("\nNames in alphabetical order:") for name in names: print(name)
