List append in loop question

Question

How can i modify this code to make 3 lists with 5 elements in each instead of as it is now; 3 lists with 5/10/15 elements?

import random

y = []

def autoSolve():
    for i in range(5):
        z = random.randrange(1, 10)
        y.append(z)
    print(y, end="")

for i in range(3):
    print("number", i + 1,)
    autoSolve()
    print()

Answer 1

Move y = [] into the autoSolve method, so that it's reset on every call.

def autoSolve():
    y = []
    for i in range(5):
        z = random.randrange(1, 10)
        y.append(z)
    print(y, end="")
