4,624 PointsI'm doing as asked, what goes wrong?
I've read the instructions over and over, and copied the samples to match my function. Now I get several errors, no matter what I change. How do I do this?
# 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!"]
values = [{"name": "Michelangelo", "food": "PIZZA"}, {"name": "Garfield", "food": "lasagna"}]
template = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"
new = []
def string_factory(**argument):
for key in argument:
thestring = template.format(name=key, food=argument.get(key))
new.append(thestring)
return new
string_factory(values)

def string_factory(argument):
thestring = []
for key in argument:
thestring.append(template.format(name=key['name'], food=key['food']))
return thestring
If you want me to break it down more, lemme know. (:
