Typing repetitive code(Python)

Question

I have been making a python program for comparing two timetables but I have had this problem a lot. The naming of variables, the text and everything else will be very repetitive, eg typing 12345123451234512345 down for each week with 5 lessons. Is there an easy way to automate this?

This is my program:

m1= input("M1")
m2= input('M2')
m3= input('M3')
m4= input('M4')
m5= input('M5')

t3= input('T3')
t4= input('T4')
t5= input('T5')

Do you see now?

A second attempt didn't work

m_input = {}
for i in range(1, 6):
    m_input['M{}'.format(i)] = input('input M{}: '.format(i))
bm_input = {}
for i in range(1, 6):
    m_input['bM{}'.format(i)] = input('input bM{}: '.format(i))
if (m_input['M1']==bm_input['bM1']):
    print("Same for week 1 Monday Lesson 1")
if (m_input['M2']==bm_input['bM2']):
    print("Same for week 1 Monday Lesson 1")
if (m_input['M3']==bm_input['bM3']):
    print("Same for week 1 Monday Lesson 1")
if (m_input['M4']==bm_input['bM1']):
    print("Same for week 1 Monday Lesson 1")
if (m_input['M5']==bm_input['bM1']):
    print("Same for week 1 Monday Lesson 1")

Why didn't it work?

Answer 1

Fragments such as

m1= input("M1")
m2= input('M2')
m3= input('M3')
m4= input('M4')
m5= input('M5')

can be shortened by using loops and storing the input in a list.

m_input = []
for i in range(1, 6):
    m_input.append(input('input M{}: '.format(i)))        

You can access input number x at m_input[x-1]. Alternatively, you could use a dictionary to create pairs of names and input values.

m_input = {}
for i in range(1, 6):
    m_input['M{}'.format(i)] = input('input M{}: '.format(i))

Now you can access M1 at m_input['M1'], M2 at m_input['M2'] and so on.

Answer 2

You could try using an array instead of all the variables and a for loop for adding data:

for i in range(5)
    myarray.append("m" + str(i+1))
