How to Create a Dynamic Integer List from User Input in Python

Collecting user input from the console is a common requirement in many programming tasks. In Python, you can easily gather multiple inputs and convert them into a list of integers. However, there are a few pitfalls that can lead to confusion if you're not familiar with the language's data types and structures. In this post, we’ll address a common scenario where a user wants to gather inputs until they decide to stop, and then convert those inputs from strings to integers.

The Problem

Suppose you want to gather inputs from the user limited to certain values (e.g., '1', '2', '3'). You also want to store these inputs in a list and convert the string entries to integers. Here's what the user initially attempted:

When the program is run with inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4, the output erroneously prints ['3'] instead of the desired output ['1', '2', '3'].

Understanding the Issue

The root of the problem lies in the way the for loop interacts with the input value. Each iteration of the loop assigns a new value to h, which re-maps the previously gathered input. So ultimately, when converting h to a list, only the last input ('3') remains, leading to the output you see.

The Solution

Let's resolve this step-by-step by modifying the code to correctly gather multiple inputs and convert them to integers.

Step 1: Initialize an Empty List

We start by initializing an empty list where we'll store the integer values:

Step 2: Gather Inputs Using a While Loop

Next, we replace the current input handling with a method that adds the input directly to the list after converting it to an integer:

Step 3: Print the Final List

Finally, after the loop breaks (when the input is outside of '1', '2', or '3'), we can print the populated list:

Conclusion

In just a few lines of code, you can gather and convert user inputs into a dynamic integer list in Python. With the use of the append() method and proper control of your while loop, you can easily enhance your programs to manage user input effectively.

Now you're ready to implement this functionality in your own projects! Happy coding!
