How to index a list based on user input, and print the result

Question

Here is what i am trying to do.. I want the user to pick a number, and then print word from my list that the number indexes. This is what i have so far

mylist = ["john","jack","jen","judy","jill"]
mylist
add = input("please state a name")
mylist.append(add)
print (mylist)
add = input("please state a number")

When you're asking a question about code, the very first tag you should add is the one for the language you're using. — Ken White, Mar 03 '17 at 00:35
To get the element of a list at position n, you would say "mylist[n]". Is that what you're asking? — Tom Barron, Mar 03 '17 at 00:56
Um, i dont believe so. Here is what im asked to do " Ask a user to input a number. Print the name that has that number as index" — Joshua Aranda, Mar 03 '17 at 01:02
You would improve the problem's explanation to understand it better. — Juan Antonio, Mar 03 '17 at 01:05

This would work:

index = input("please state a number")
index = int(index)
name = mylist[index]
print(name)
