Multiple Integer Inputs in one line Python

Question

The input is integers separated by a space in the form below: 180 141 142 175 162

busnumbers = input().split()

for n in busnumbers:
    n = int(n)

I want busnumbers = [ 180,141,142,175,162] Instead, I have ['180','141','142','175','162'] Why isn't the conversion working?

Even if you put integers for your input, they will always be read as a string. You have to explicitly convert them to an `int`. Look at the link provided. — idjaw, Jul 23 '18 at 02:17

Because n variable that you apply int() is not transform data in list. It just transforms each data in the loop.

If you want to use above code it would be

for i,v in enumerate(busnumbers): busnumbers[i] = int(v)

busnumbers = list(map(int, input().split()))

but my question is why isn't the conversion method stated above working – Naya Keto Jul 23 '18 at 02:15

You can transform the data in the list using his approach if the objects are mutable, but here, integers are not. – user3483203 Jul 23 '18 at 02:21
