I need to create a function that will return a list of strings made from a function that takes a dictionary from a provided list. I have no idea how to access the dictionary from the list.
# 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(list):
print()

for i in myListOfDicts:
for j in i:
for instance would loop through the keys of each dict in the list.

3,194 PointsThank you for the quick and helpful response! For some reason I was just stuck on the concept of a list made of dictionaries, but that was very helpful.
