how to print the for loop index with the input statement?

Question

I want to print the counter of the for loop together with the input statement(inside for loop): eg.

for i in range(n):
    ac[i] = str(input("Air conditioning available in room? In room number:"))

Expected output is

Air Conditioning available in room? in room number 1
Air Conditioning available in room? in room number 2

You need to prepare the `ac` list to have enough elements so you can access them with `ac[i]`. Any reason not to use `ac.append(input("Air conditioning available in room? In room number:"))` ? (no need to "str" the input() - it already IS a string.) — Patrick Artner, May 22 '20 at 17:55

Just format the string along with i:

for i in range(n):
    ac[i] = input(f"Air conditioning available in room? In room number: {i + 1}")

Or for versions without f-strings:

for i in range(n):
    ac[i] = input("Air conditioning available in room? In room number: {0}".format(i + 1))

Note: This only works with python 3.6 and above. – 10 Rep May 22 '20 at 17:52
@The why? string literal interpolation is in since 3.6 ... – Patrick Artner May 22 '20 at 17:54
@PatrickArtner My mistake. I tried it in 3.5, and it didn't work. Then I tried in 3.8, and it worked, so I automatically assumed it would only work for 3.8. – 10 Rep May 22 '20 at 17:55

You mean this?

for i in range(1,n+1):

        ac[1] = input(f"Air conditioning available in room? In room number {i}:")
