I'm trying to do a simple python program able to print the right variable depend of the incremented value.

a1 = 'hiya'
a2 = 'i love cats'

lignenum = 2
incremented_value = 1
while incremented_value <= lignenum:
    print(a, incremented_value) 
     incremented_value += 1

i want my program to render :

'hiya' 'i love cats'

I would define a list with this values you would like to print, and then access them according to their index-value. That is:

arguments = ['hiya','i love cats']
lignenum = 1
incremented_value = 0
while incremented_value <= lignenum:
    print(arguments[incremented_value]) 
    incremented_value += 1

This prints:

hiya
i love cats

Use a list and iterate btween 0 and the length of the list. There are better ways to do this but a simple solution is below

a = []
a.append('hiya')
a.append('i love cats')

lignenum = len(a)
incremented_value = 0
while incremented_value <= lignenum:
    print(a[incremented_value]) 
     incremented_value += 1
