My string_factory can make the first sentence, (I am Michaelangelo and I love to eat Pizza.) but I can't make it iterate through the whole list of dictionaries.
I've tried replace my "for loop" line with
<for dict in range(len(dicts) )>
but (at least in PyCharm) that is no bueno
def string_factory(dicts, string):
for dict in dicts:
string = string.format(**dict)
my_list = string
return my_list
print string_factory(dicts, string)'''
dicts = [
{'name': 'Michelangelo',
'food': 'PIZZA'},
{'name': 'Garfield',
'food': 'lasanga'},
{'name': 'Walter',
'food': 'pancakes'},
{'name': 'Galactus',
'food': 'worlds'}
]
string = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"

Treehouse Guest TeacherSince you need to make multiple strings, you need something that'll hold multiple strings...might I suggest a list?
Then, make each string, append it to the list, and, at the end, return the list of strings. What you're doing right now, with your return inside of your for loop, is returning only the first string.
