Hi Michael,
I bet there is a better way (which I would like to see), but here is what I
have come up with for my own uses.
"""
ints = []
u_in = False
while u_in == False:
try:
u_input = raw_input('please enter 5 integers, space separated\n
')
for n in u_input.split():
ints.append(int(n))
u_in = True
except:
print(' input error, try again')
"""
The while loop is set up in case your user inputs a float or string instead of
just integers. You can also imagine putting checks in case you want exactly 5
integers, etc.
Cheers,
Andre
