I am making a program to estimate tile jobs easier. I have the user input the number of different tiles there are into a range list (ex: Tile = [1,2,3,4,5])

Now I would like to convert every one of those numbers into their own list (ex: 1 becomes TileA, 2 becomes TileB, etc).

nbtile = input("How many different types of tile is there?")

tile = list(range(1,(int(nbtile)+1)))

    You don't want to do that, really, as it'll make the rest of your code *much harder to write*. – Martijn Pieters Mar 30 '19 at 17:19
  • Must the new lists have names like TileA, TileB... or do you just want a number of new lists according to the number of elements in Tile? – Code Pope Mar 30 '19 at 17:20
  • I would like it to have a name like that because in my code I have rooms, tile and cement, all in multiple. My goal in here is to associate a numercal value to my new item ex: TileA=24 – Matthew Mannella Mar 30 '19 at 17:23

You can use a simple generator expression: 

nbtile = input("How many different types of tile is there?")

tile = list(range(1,(int(nbtile)+1)))

tiles, tiledict = [[x] for x in tile], {}

for x in range(len(tiles)):
    tiledict[f'TILE{x+1}'] = tiles[x]

print(tiledict)
