How to get n variables in one line?

I have a number n and I need to get from a user n variables in one line.

As far as i know, it's pretty easy to do if you know exactly how many variables you have.

*variables* = map(int, input().split())

But if I don't know how many variables there are, what should I do?

Also, I'm asked to put the result in array.

Unfortunately, I've just started learning Python, so I have absolutely no idea how to do it and can't show any code I've tried.

User input being taken as a space separated string: 

1 2 3 4 5

This being the code you are dealing with: 

map(int, input().split())

Stating you need a list, then just store it in a single variable: 

inputs = map(int, input().split())

However, dealing with Python 3, you will end up with map object. So if you actually need a list type, then just call list on the map function:

inputs = list(map(int, input().split()))

Demo:

>>> inputs = list(map(int, input().split()))
1 2 3 4 5
>>> type(inputs)
<class 'list'>
>>> inputs
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
