For loop help!!

fivestar (180)
I need help with my for loop. I want the user to enter a number between 1 and 5.
If they enter 2 then the for loop should print out

"What category for the 1st bunch: " and then take an input
"What category for the 2nd bunch: " and take one more input.

I Put my suffix code in a function at the bottom. I also added comments before the for loop to better explain what i am trying to do.

Use simple if-statements.

Within the while loop or before

Yea I got that part I just don't know how to use the suffix function within the for loop. I want it to print out "What category for the 1st part: ". It should have the correct suffix for each loop depending on the number they enter.

Wait never mind, I think I know what you're saying.
