this is what i can up with. But im pretty sure there is a shorter way to write this peace of code. If anyone has any feedback please let me know.

def combo(lists, string):
    temp_list = list()
    temp_list2 = list()
    final_list = list()
    for letter in lists:
        temp_list.append(letter)

    for letter1 in string:
        temp_list2.append(letter1)

    for times in string:
        tulp = temp_list.pop(0), temp_list2.pop(0)
        final_list.append(tulp)
    print(final_list)

combo([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10], 'string')

couple of ideas 1 ) you didn't return anything here. 2) typo on sting_factory 3)The challenge says "string_factory that accepts a list of dictionaries as an argument." the way you coded here would work if you were to be given two keyword pairs...but you aren't
