title: How to increment variable names/Is this a bad idea
body: <p>In Python, if I were to have a user input the number X, and then the program enters a for loop in which the user inputs X values, is there a way/is it a bad idea to have variable names automatically increment?</p>
  
  <p>ie:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>user inputs '6'  
  value_1 = ...  
  value_2 = ...  
  value_3 = ...  
  value_4 = ...  
  value_5 = ...  
  value_6 = ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can I make variable names increment like that so that I can have the number of variables that the user inputs? Or should I be using a completely different method such as appending all the new values onto a list?</p>
