What is a way to restrict the amount of input numbers?

edit

One way to restrict the amount of input numbers is to use a loop with a counter. The loop will continue to prompt the user for input until the counter reaches a set limit. For example, in Python:

count = 0
limit = 5
numbers = []

while count < limit:
    num = input("Enter a number: ")
    numbers.append(num)
    count += 1

print(numbers)

This code prompts the user to enter a number five times and appends each input to a list. The loop stops after the fifth input.
