How do I make a "iterable variable"?

Question

I want to make a variable that can be changed iterably through for loops, as in:

for i in range(15):
  var + i = 12

so that when it is finished, there will be 15 variables that has the number 12. I've done this through code.org (I'm taking computer science) and I want to know if this is possible through python.

Do you mean creating 15 different variables for each iteration? Could you store the items in a list? — Sami, Feb 06 '21 at 17:09
You can dynamically create variables in the global scope, but not in a local scope. It is almost **never** a good practice, however — juanpa.arrivillaga, Feb 06 '21 at 17:09

Like that?

g = globals()
for i in range(15):
    g[f'var{i}'] = 12

It can be useful for practise, to understand how variables storing. In real projects you should use some sort of collections. Usually list or dict.

@AbnormalHare822 please don't actually do this, it is a terrible practice – juanpa.arrivillaga Feb 06 '21 at 17:24

@Alpensin I'm using it for list lists. Oops I solved my problem aaaaaa – AbnormalHare822 Feb 06 '21 at 20:33
