Hey @slate breach!

It looks like you pasted Python code without syntax highlighting.

Please use syntax highlighting to improve the legibility of your code and make it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')

what is a by the time the next while loop starts?

[wintry summit]

"when in doubt, print more out"

(until it becomes too much, at which point use a debugger :p)

[slate breach]

?

[chrome valve]

what is the value of the variable a when the second while loop, the one that prints, is reached?

[slate breach]

wouldn't it carry the 0 from the first loop

[chrome valve]

if you don't assign it as such, no

you assign a to 0 once, then assign it to progressively higher numbers in the loop, and then the next loop starts

you might be thinking of for-loops, where the variable is set before entering the loop body

[slate breach]

i dont think i understand what you mean

[chrome valve]

what part of the explanation failed to reach you? give me something, here

[fast trellis]

the first while loop is fine

the second loop is wrong

numbers = []
a = 0

while a < 10:
    n = int(input('n:'))
    numbers.append(n)
    a += 1

numbers.sort(reverse=True)

i = 0
while i < len(numbers):
    print("Number "+str(i+1)+": "+str(numbers[i]))
    i += 1```

[slate breach]

OHHHA

ok

[fast trellis]

the error in your code was that you use a for both loops

in my code i just created a new variable 'i' to handle the while loop

if you need help understanding the code

feel free to ask

[slate breach]

just had a question

[fast trellis]

yes?

[slate breach]

how can turn the simple n into a

n2:
n3:
   ...

[fast trellis]

sorry not quite sure what you mean

you want to turn n into a?

[slate breach]

you see how the output is

Number2:
Number3:
...

how can i do the same with the input

[regal quail]

So, you want to input only one number (n), then print (n) numbers, or you want to input (n) numbers?

[slate breach]

what?

i just want the the (n:) input which is asked 10 times to be accompanied with its corresponding number

for example the 3rd number should be asked like "n3:"

and so on

[regal quail]

Try

a = 1
while True: # loop forever
  input('n' + a + ':')
  a += 1

My bad. I just updated my code

[slate breach]

so im supposed to replace this with the while a < 10: n = int(input('n:'))

right?

[regal quail]

You might want this instead:

while a < 10:
  n = int(input('n' + a + ':'))
  a += 1

[slate breach]

oh alright

[slate breach]

line 5, in <module>
n = int(input('n' + a + ':'))
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

[regal quail]

Ah, my bad.
It should be str(a) instead of just a

In the print thing only

[slate breach]

it works now thanks

[regal quail]

👍
