How could I append a range number from an input to a list??

Question

A noobie here

I was wondering why I couldn't in python append a range int to a list. Here is the code and if someone wouldn't mind in help me I'll be so grateful:

li = []
height = input("height: ")
short = range(140, 166)

for height in short:
li.append("short")

Answer 1

if height in list(range(140,166)):

when you are a bit more experienced, you can read about lists and generators, generator expressions.
For now just remember some ways how to convert a range to a list.

Answer 2

it throws TypeError i think. i think you want to append the height to the list short... if so you can do it like this:

height = int(input())
short = [x for x in range(140,166)]
short.append(height)

[x for x in range(140,166)] is a list comprehension and it means this:

short = []
for x in range(140,166):
short.append(x)

Answer 3

li = []
height = int(input("height: ")) # <= convert to int.
short = range(140, 166)

if height in short: # <= use "if" not "for".
li.append("short")
print(li)

Thanks you guys for the help i was circling with this for a few days 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

Answer 5

Almost something like that :( what i want is append the word "short" when someone type a number (with the input height) between the range(140, 166) i dont know how to do that. li its an empty list to storage different type of words :(

Answer 6

for multiple values you can use this
height = input().split()

and add from keyboard using a space between the values like this:
34 63 83 3 236

after that you need to do the logic like this

for i in height:
if int(i) in short:
result[i] = 'short'
else:
result[i] = 'tall'

it should look like this in its final form:

height = input().split()
result={}
short = [x for x in range(140,166)]

for i in height:
if int(i) in short:
result[i] = 'short'
else:
result[i] = 'tall'

print(result)

Answer 7

this one uses a dictionary, which stores the input number as key, and the word 'short' as value. i added for 'tall' also. feel free to delete the else and the statement below the else if you want only the short values

height = int(input())
result={}
short = [x for x in range(140,166)]
short.append(height)

if height in short:
result[height] = 'short'
else:
result[height] = 'tall'

print(result)
