i am trying to practice some code i want to loop round getting the user to enter a number of values depending on a specified number



ref = raw_input('please enter reference number : ')
tint = raw_input('enter the number of items: ')
i = 0
basic =[]
amount =[]
while i < tint :
basic[i:] = raw_input('enter basic : ')
amount[i:] = raw_input('enter amnount :')
i = i +1
am i on the right track with the lists?

i need to read input in to the list but list only needs to be as big as number of items
