urgent help, please

Imagine,

N=input("Enter the number of storeys: ")

m1=input("what is you m1 value? ")

As you see in the first command i ask a user to input the number of storeys. Now, my question is that i want the m1 input command to pop up N times which was entered in the first command. How can I possibly do this?

Can anyone help me on this basic issue? Thank you!

If you want to enter the values one by one, then you can use a loop:

N=input("Enter the number of stories: ")
for index = 1:N
    m1(index)=input("What is your m1 value? ")
end

Thank you for your response! Yes it is kind of what you are saying.

But to be exact, is it possible to have

m1=input("What is your m1 value? ")

m2=input("What is your m1 value? ")

...

mN=input("What is your m1 value? ")

N times that i inputted in the first command?

No, it's not possible as Value of N will be entered later by the user so program doesn't know in advance the value of N. Only possible way is that you use if else loops or switch case but that will be highly redundant and can cover only a finite values.

If you're asking if you can create N individual variables, one to store each individual m1 value, you can do this but you should not. Prefer storing them as elements in one larger variable.

Thank you both for your help.

What is the reason I should not do that. Furthermore, am I able to choose from the general variable m vector assigned? I mean I tried the code preferred by Mr. Gupta, and the assigned m vector has appeared to be a vector with N number of values.

See this answer for some of the many reasons to avoid creating many individual scalar variables with numbered names.
