Question

I have to use a FOR loop like this

x=0
for i in range(22):
    SOME OPERATION

And than store the value of operation in a list like [0,0,0,0,0]
depending upon the OPERATION results +1 will be done to any of 5 values in list.

The problem is that I need a list for every iteration. Could you please help me with naming/initializing a list with name like list1, list2 and so on till list 22. SO that I can keep on +1 to list at any of five values

If you need a group of named lists then it sounds like you want a dictionary:

myLists = dict()
for x in range(22):
    myLists[ 'list%d' % x ] = [0,0,0,0,0]

If you’d rather do it with a list of lists:

myLists = list()
for x in range(22):
    myLists.append( [0,0,0,0,0] )
