How input a list in Python

Answer 1

 1: Get a list of numbers as input from a user and calculate the sum of it

Use a input() function to accept the list elements from a user in the format of a string separated by space.

Next, Use a split() function to split a string by space and added those numbers to the list.

Next, iterate a user list using for loop and range() function.

Convert each list element to an integer and add it to a sum variable.

input_string = input("Enter a list elements separated by space ")

print("\n")
userList = input_string.split()
print("user list is ", userList)
# Calculating the sum of input list elements
sum1 = 0
for num in userList:
sum1 += int(num)
print("Sum = ", sum1);

Output:

Enter a list elements separated by space 2 4 6 8 10 12 user list is ['2', '4', '6', '8', '10', '12'] Sum = 42

Answer 2

you could make an empty list, ask for how many items in the list, then add the items to the list in a for loop.
