Class list - How would I make this repeat to the amount of students entered?

Question

How would I make this repeat to the amount of students entered? Everything I've tried doesn't work.

numStudents = input("Enter the number of students: ")

while true:
    for x in range(len(numStudents)):
        name = input("Student Name: ")
        number = input("Student Number: ")

ex.

Enter the number of students: 3

Student name:
Student Number:

Student name:
Student Number:

Student name:
Student Number:

Inputs will take input as `str`, so you have to cast it to integer: `int(input (....))` first. — Daniel Hao, Jan 12 '21 at 17:54

Get rid of the while true: (it's called True in Python, and there's no reason for an infinite loop even if you fixed that)
Replace for x in range(len(numStudents)): with for x in range(int(numStudents)): to loop numStudents times, rather than looping "length of the string stored in numStudents" times. Or just change numStudents = input("Enter the number of students: ") to numStudents = int(input("Enter the number of students: ")) to make it an int from the get go, and make the for loop for x in range(numStudents):
