How to reference variables within an input function?

Question

I know this is incorrect because 'input()' can only take 1 argument, but I want to include these variables in the input while asking the user to enter more numbers:

n = 5
average = 0
for i in range(n):
 numbers = eval(input('Please enter number ', (i+1) ,' of ', n ,' to average:',sep='',end=''))
 average = average+numbers/n

• jonrsharpe: input isn't like print, it takes a single string to show as the prompt. You have to create that string yourself - Python has several options for string formatting you could do some research on. Also you should almost never use eval.

Answer 1

You can use string formatting and F-Strings ( only Python 3.6+ )

String Formatting:

n = 5
average = 0
for i in range(n):
 numbers = int(input('Please enter number {} of {} to average:'.format(i+1, n)))
 average = average+numbers/n

F-Strings (Works in Python 3.6+):

n = 5
average = 0
for i in range(n):
 numbers = int(input(f'Please enter number {i+1} of {n} to average:'))
 average = average+numbers/n

Answer 2

You could try concatenating your variables after converting them to string [str(x)]

n = 5
average = 0
for i in range(n):
 numbers = eval(input('Please enter number '+str(i+1)+' of '+str(n)+' to average:'))
 average = average+numbers/n

This is a naive approach but works fine.
