🔒 how to make a loop

[calm yoke]

I'm very new to coding and for an assignment I need to return a list of vertices that are dependant on some variables, I can meet all the parameters but my solution is a bit sloppy as instead of any loop, I have just typed a slightly different function for the vertex for the amount of maximum vertices required, could someone please explain how I could simplify this and have it be able to extend past 8 vertices? thank you.
list = [leftmost_vertex, (leftmost_vertex[0] + horizontal_gap_between_vertices, leftmost_vertex[1]), (leftmost_vertex[0] + 2horizontal_gap_between_vertices, leftmost_vertex[1]), (leftmost_vertex[0] + 3horizontal_gap_between_vertices, leftmost_vertex[1]), (leftmost_vertex[0] + 4horizontal_gap_between_vertices, leftmost_vertex[1]), (leftmost_vertex[0] + 5horizontal_gap_between_vertices, leftmost_vertex[1]), (leftmost_vertex[0] + 6horizontal_gap_between_vertices, leftmost_vertex[1]), (leftmost_vertex[0] + 7horizontal_gap_between_vertices, leftmost_vertex[1]), (leftmost_vertex[0] + 8*horizontal_gap_between_vertices, leftmost_vertex[1])]

there

[calm yoke]

oh, why is there a tag for it then?

my bad

[river wharf]

i’ll help w loops there

[river wharf]

have you learnt loops before?

[calm yoke]

sort of, but all the examples ive been given are not relavent to this and are about printing values from lists

none of them are about making lists so im having trouble understanding how to implement the loop functions

[calm yoke]

yeah i dont want an answer i just wanted some clues on what to implement

[river wharf]

making lists?

hold on brb

[calm yoke]

yeah so the code there makes a list of vertices up to the amount of vertices, so for the return i have: return list[0:number_of_vertices]

your code paste here failed because of discord formatting, * characters turned some text italic

it might help to post the proper code

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[calm yoke]

yeah i realised that, theyre just between every number and horizontal_gap_between_vertices, like 8*horizontal_gap_between_vertices

no other * apart from those ones
