I need to create multiple variables based on int input so that if input is 5 then variables are created like: worker1, worker2, worker3, etc.
Is there any way in which I could generate variables like these and then add points to them dependant on the number chosen by the user? Example:
How many workers? 10 -Choose worker 4 -added 1 point to worker4
Instead of using multiple variables, you can use a dictionary. Using multiple variables is less Pythonic than using a dictionary and can prove cumbersome with large data. In your example, you could use a dictionary to store each worker and their number of points. Documentation for dictionaries can be found here
For example:
#recieve a valid input for the number of workers
while True:
num = input("How many workers would you like to create?\n") # accepts an int
try:
num = int(num)
except ValueError:
print("Must input an integer")
else:
break
#create a dictionary with the workers and their scores (0 by default)
workers = {'worker'+str(i+1) : 0 for i in range(num)}
# get the user to choose a worker, and add 1 to their score
while True:
worker = input("Which worker would you like to add a point to?\n") #accepts worker e.g worker1 or worker5
if worker in workers:
workers[worker] += 1
print(f"Added one point to {worker}")
break
else:
print("That is not a worker")
print(workers)
This code gets a user input to create a certain number of workers. It then gets user input to add a point to one of the workers. You can change this to add multiple points to different workers, but this is just a basic example, and it depends on what you want to do with it.
