string = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"
because the string has keyword arguments for each value ie name and food, it expects them to be passed to the format method.
2 ways to do this
#example 1
def string_factory(list_of_dictionaries, sentence):
new_list = []
for dictionary in list_of_dictionaries:
new_list.append(sentence.format(name=dictionary['name'], food=dictionary['food']))
return new_list
#example 2
def string_factory(list_of_dictionaries, sentence):
new_list = []
for dictionary in list_of_dictionaries:
new_list.append(sentence.format(**dictionary))
return new_list
