python - Creating an empty list to have data assigned afterwards -

lets want create list of names

listofnames = []

then have while loop such as

count = 0 while listofnames[count] < 10:     namelist[count] = raw_input("enter name: ")     count += 1

python says list index out of range, list index should @ 0, correct?

how add list each time while loop ran? i'm assuming wrong list assignment.

an empty list doesn't have index yet, it's empty list! if want fill it, have :

while count < 10:     namelist.append(raw_input("enter name: "))     count += 1

this way, condition evaluated , append method, able add new items in list.

there few advanced tricks easily, considering level, think it's better understand code before moving on.
