Question

I want to create variables as a1,a2,a3…a10. For that I used a for loop. As the variable in loop increments I need to create a variable as above.

Can anyone give me an idea?

At the time of creation I also need to be able to assign values to them.

That’s where I’m getting syntax error.

Following what S.Lott said, you can also use a dict, if you really nead unique names and that the order of the items is not important:

data = {} for i in range(0, 10):   data['a%d' % i] = i  >>>data {'a1': 1, 'a0': 0, 'a3': 3, 'a2': 2, 'a5': 5, 'a4': 4, 'a7': 7, 'a6': 6, 'a9': 9, 'a8': 8} 

I would add that this is very dangerous to automate variable creation like you want to do, as you might overwrite variables that could already exist.
