In python, what's the method to ask for a user input based on previous user input?

Question

I have an assignment where I need to ask the user to input the total number of integers that will be in the data set, ask for each of the integers, and then add them into a list, then summarize the list into a dictionary.

For now I'm only worried about the user input part.

Here's what I have so far:

data = []
summary = {}

total_ints = int(raw_input('Total integers in data: '))

while total_ints:
  each_int = int(raw_input('Enter an integer: '))

data.append(each_int)

Basically I need to only print the 'each_int' input based on the number the user enters in 'total_ints'. I know the while loop isn't correct, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

This is a loop whose body is executed total_ints times:

for i in range(total_ints):
  data.append(int(raw_input('Enter an integer: ')))
