Hello all! I have a program where I have a for loop, and inside of the foor loop is an input statement that allows the user to enter a number. For example,

for i in range(4):
    cars = input("Please enter car number 1")

However, what I am trying to do is have it so each time the for loop runs, it increases the car number. I.E. "please enter car number 1" and then "please enter car number 2" the next time around. I tried having cars = input("Please enter car number %d") %i but that didn't seem to work. I just can't figure out how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

The i is 0 indexed (so i goes from 0 to 3) all you need is:

for i in range(4):
   cars = input("Please enter car number " + str(i + 1))

Which adds the string value of i+1 to the input string. Hope that helps

Yes that is exactly what I wanted! Thank you very much!

Another possibility is:

for i in range(1,5):#start at 1, go up to but not including 5
   cars = input("Please enter car number " + str(i))
