  • Sorry in Python 3.5 am new here

  • I don’t know much about python but I wouldn’t be simpler to use an array?

  • I want to create a series of matrices that depend on quantity of elements, each matrix I would like to put a name like this, but I’m not able to do, maybe I’m thinking wrong, I’m starting to program.

    Hello Catia, I can’t quite understand what you’re trying to do... "a" is a literal (a string), not a variable. a1 = 2? Try to edit your question and explain better what you are trying to do.

Make a list instead of trying to create variables programmatically (which is possible, but not a good idea):

a =[]
a[1] = 2

I believe that’s what you want to do.

  • That’s what I wanted to do.
