Dynamic array name

Question

How can a generate multiple array with this syntax result0, result1, result2 etc..

I tried this and this work :

for i in xrange(0, 7):
        var_num = i
        globals()['result%s' % var_num] = []
        globals()['result%s' % var_num].append(1000+i)
        print ['result%s' % var_num][0]

it gives me theses array :

result0
result1
result2
result3
result4
result5
result6

But i'm sure there is another way to do that?...

Thanks

Answer 1

How about using a dictionary.

>>> variables = {}
>>> for i in xrange(0, 7):
...     variables['result%s' % i] = [1000 + i]
...
>>> variables
{'result6': [1006], 'result4': [1004], 'result5': [1005], 'result2': [1002], 'result3': [1003], 'result0': [1000], 'result1': [1001]}
>>> variables['result2']
[1002]
>>> variables['result6']
[1006]

Why do you want to have like that? Why not just an array of arrays? You will be able to iterate over the arrays easily when you keep them in another array.
