I'm making a piece of code that asks users to input their name and three scores into a program. This will continue happening within a while loop until it is stopped (meaning there could be 2 users entering scores or 50 depending on how many are entered). I want to append the user's name and the three scores for each into a list (each user being a unique list) but I don't know how to automatically create different list names. For example, something like user1, user2, user3 etc. would do, as long as there was the same number of lists as users that entered their name and scores. I hope this makes sense.
