Create a list of objects python

I'm trying to create a quiz, and there is a Syntax error in the questions array for the 2nd element. I've tried appending each object to the array through a `for loop but I need each question to have a correct answer.

The Questions class is in a diffrent file:

class Questions:
    def __init__(self, prompt, answer):
        self.prompt = prompt
        self.answer = answer

Here is the main file:

from Questions import Questions
questionsPrompt = ["What does CPU stand for?\n(a) central procesing unit\n(b)controlled purification\n(c)computer unit",
    "What is an advantage of a compiler?\n(a)slow to run each time\n(b)compiling takes a long time\n(c)easy to implement",
    "The Operating System is a :\n(a)system software\n(b)application software\n(c)utility software"]

questions = [
    Questions(questionsPrompt[0], "a")
    Questions(questionsPrompt[1], "b")
    Questions(questionsPrompt[2], "a")
]

def runQuiz(questions):
    score = 0
    for question in questions:
        answer = input(question.prompt)
        if answer == question.answer:
            score += 1
    return score

runQuiz(questions)

As Aran-Fey commented, list items must be separated by commas. This is also true for other collections as dictionaries, sets, etc.

questions = [
    Questions(questionsPrompt[0], "a"),
    Questions(questionsPrompt[1], "b"),
    Questions(questionsPrompt[2], "a")
]

As Aran-Fey pointed out, your syntax is incorrect.

questions = [
    Questions(questionsPrompt[0], "a"),
    Questions(questionsPrompt[1], "b"),
    Questions(questionsPrompt[2], "a")
]

Also, another small point, what you are creating is a list, not an array. There are both semantic and implementation differences, and since Python has both, it's an important distinction.
