How do i make like a "zip file" type inside inputs answer

Question

Not the best wording i know but heres my issue.

Say this is my code

S = input ("5 Names : ")
Print(S)

From here i want to input say. The number 2 but i want it to print out whatever i have attached to the number 2.

Ex. Instead of

(5 names: 2)
Answer: 2

I want:

(5 names: 2)
Answer: Matthew, Chris, Joe, Amy, Theadorheimervanglson Smith

😁 nice name. I know

Answer 1

#I guess you want something like this
dct = {'1': 'n1 n2 n3 n4 n5',
'2': 'n6 n7 n8 n9 n10'}

i = input()
print(dct[i])

Answer 2

Kidale Smith It does seem you are struggling to explain your issue. I feel you are close to making it clear.

But... yeah... it's a bit tough to follow in it's current wording.

I'll ask a few questions that might help you fill in the blanks in clarifying the question.

1. I was thrown off by your reference to "zip file" type in the question. I was originally thinking you were asking about archiving files in a compressed zip file.

However, it seems you may be referring to the "zip() function" which would completely change the context here.

Is this the case?

2. Why is 2 being inputted for what appears to be requesting 5 names to be entered?

The labels are confusing here. Is the code requesting the user to input a number or 5 different names?

3. When entering 2, why would the code output 5 different names? What would have happened if the user entered 1 or 10 or 1000?

4. Would entering 2 actually return the second name: Chris?

Answer 3

I don't get it. What does "print out whatever I have attached to the number 2" mean?

Answer 4

David Carroll wow. After coming back to this i see i was still new and didn't know how to explain. So. This is what i mean to do.

Instead of "5 names:" i want to enter "one name" like you said we'll use "chris"

After entering "Chris" i want to see all 5 names.

Example:

Answer = Chris:
Output:
-Rob
-Jon
-Bill
-Sandy
-Poppabillywonga

Answer 5

Mert Yazıcı what what whaaaat. That looks AMAZING i'll try it

Answer 6

Anna sorry. I confused everybody. My questions all screwed up. To make it short i mean like this. I'll use numbers since i know i can't use numbers with strings now.

If i input this answer: 2
This will be the output: 1,2,3,4,5

Because 1,2,3,4,5 is tied to the answer 2.

But i wanted names tied to it. Which i think is impossible
