Question

I know the easiest way to take input in python is with the function input() .

However, what if I have to take several numbers on separate lines at once and add them up.

Example input:

How can I read this input into a list?

I am a beginner in python so please any advice is appreciated

Will the input be passed together? Or will it be added as separate inputs? You can use `input().split('\n')` otherwise `x1 = input()`, `x2 = input` etc.. — Alan Kavanagh, Feb 27 '19 at 12:34

You can do something like this:

numbers_list = []
for i in range(number_of_needs):
    n = input()
    number_list.append(n)

or you can use while if you don't know the count.

numbers_list = []
while True:
    n = input()
    if n == 'q':
        break
    number_list.append(n)

in this case, it breaks when user inputs q.

also, note that ns are String you can use int() to convert them to an integer.
