Write this code in an efficient way

Is there a way to make this code more efficient by using arrays?

name1= input("Enter a name : ")
name2= input("Enter a name : ")
name3= input("Enter a name : ")
name4= input("Enter a name : ")

print ("1. "+name1)
print ("2. "+name2)
print ("3. "+name3)
print ("4. "+name4)

Please need help

Not in any particular language but I know C best, so it looks like C.

Note, arrays always start at 0.


string[4] name;

for (int i = 0; i = 3; i++)
{
name = input("Enter a name: ");
}

for (int i = 0; i = 3; i++)
{
print( (i+1) + name );
}


i need it in python specifically but thanks

What I've written should be very easy to translate if you (a) know anything about how programming works and (b) know anything about how the language you're using works. If you don't know either but you know you need to declare, assign values to, and extract values from, an array, then it's clear that you're asking us to do your homework for you.

In which case, tuff. I've told you the basics of how arrays work. You need it in Python? Translate it.

i smell python
nameArray = [ ]
for i in range(4):
name = input ("Enter a name : ")
nameArray.append (name)
for i in range(4):
print (i 1 , "." nameArray )

that should work
need anything explaining hmu

EDIT: idk if it shows up on pc but on mobile the brackets disappear nameArray shouls be followed by a pair of empty square brackets

i smell python
nameArray = *empty square brackets here*
for i in range(4):
name = input ("Enter a name : ")
nameArray.append (name)
for i in range(4):
print (i 1 , "." nameArray )

that should work

EDIT 2: for some reason the plus sign is also disappearing :/

can you please explain what u mean by i 1 in the last line?

i 1 is supposed to be i plus 1 but for some reason the plus sign is disappearing
same for "." nameArray [i ] it should be "." plus nameArray [i ]

That's not 'C'.

i 1 is supposed to be i plus 1 but for some reason the plus sign is disappearing
same for "." nameArray [i ] it should be "." plus nameArray [i ]

an index error is occuring, the list is out of range

I said it looks like C, not it is C. As in I used C's formatting, but wrote pseudocode.

Fair enough. You can't overwrite name like that though. Using a signed type for an array index is a little odd too. I know - I'm a pedant.

You're damn' skippy. It's pseudocode. It doesn't have to have syntactic rigour, it only has to get the point across. If I did it that wrong, why don't you rewrite it?

Too busy writing real code, but criticising is quick
