Python Web Development Techdegree Student 922 PointsHello I would like to see what I am doing wrong in the problem below
template = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"
def string_factory(name = None, food= None): if name and food: print template.format(name="kenneth", food= "tacos") else: print(Hi no name!")
# Example:
# values = [{"name": "Michelangelo", "food": "PIZZA"}, {"name": "Garfield", "food": "lasagna"}]
# string_factory(values)
# ["Hi, I'm Michelangelo and I love to eat PIZZA!", "Hi, I'm Garfield and I love to eat lasagna!"]
template = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"
def string_factory(name = None, food= None):
if name and food:
print template.format(name="kenneth", food= "tacos")
else:
print(Hi no name!")

The challenge asked you to: "Write a function named string_factory that accepts a list of dictionaries as an argument. Return a new list of strings...". You did correctly name the function string_factory. But:
- instead of a list of dictionaries, your function accepts a name and a food as arguments
- instead of a new list of strings, your function does not return anything
- your function prints but no printing was called for
- you'll probably need a loop to process each item in the incoming list
- you're missing an open quote on the last line (but you probably don't need that entire line)
