How do I...?
Well, you start by reading a book on how to program. You would
then learn that what you want (in all likelihood) is a
dictionary/map structure for dynamically created key/value pairs.
Once you have progressed from your current apprenticeship and
achieved the rank of third-degree journeyman programmer, the ways
of dynamic variable creation will avail themselves.
i = 0
nameNos = []
nos = []
for option in ourOptions():
nameNos.append('optionNo%d' % i)
nos.append(i)
i += 1
The idea is that through every iteration of option, I can create a new
variable such as 'optionNo0', 'optionNo1' etc and assign values such as '0',
'1' etc to them. Of course that code doesn't work. What would?
As stated above, you want a dictionary where your keys are
'optionNo%d' % i
and your values are "i". You can also use the more idiomatic
for i, option in enumerate(ourOptions()):
...
and skip the manual initialization and incrementation of "i". Or
even more succinctly, you could pass the above as a generator to
the dict() initialization. But that's a level-2 apprentice bit
of code. Patience grasshopper.
And as additional weirdness, you don't actually make use of
"option" in your for-loop...
