Why is my program showing index error while trying to take input a list without eval function? PYTHON

Shan Kumar Singh Because list has 0 value so you can't assign value to a list like that. So do this: for a in range(0, n): l.append(int(input())) If you want to assign value like that then you have to define list with 0 value like this: n = int(input()) l = [0, 0] for a in range(0, n): l[a] = int(input()) print (l) If you enter 2 1 2 then list will be [1, 2]

Hi Shan! I assume that l is an empty list. You just have to use append() method to add each element one by one to update list l. So, it needs to be like this n = int(input("Enter no. of terms")) l = [] for a in range(n): l.append(int(input("Enter value"))) print(l)
