python: Input() inside of a for loop error

Question

for i in range(5):
    mylist[i]=int(input("Input an integer: "))

Do I really still have to define mylist before the for loop before I can actually use it? At the first loop it works fine but at the second loop it will show a NameError do I have to use a different inut method or what?

NameError: name 'mylist' is not defined

Answer 1

Yes, you need to define what "mylist" is before you assign values to it.

mylist = []
for i in range(5):
    mylist.append(int(input("Input an integer: ")))
