12,045 PointsString formatting with dictionaries
I tried doing the loop, but i just can't get it, am i missing something?
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}!"
def string_factory(dicts, string):
new_list = []
for words in dicts:
new_list = string.append(sting.format(**dicts))
return new_list
print (string_factory(dicts, string))

You're closer, but you have a few syntax issues yet.
Ignoring the print statement at the end, which is not part of the challenge but doesn't hurt it, your remaining issues are all in the statement inside the loop:
new_list = string.append(sting.format(**dicts))
- you can't "append" a string, you probably want to append the new_list (instead of assigning to it)
- you spelled "sting" (without the "r") where you apply format to it.
- your loop extracts the individual dictionaries as "words", but the format still attempts to use dicts.
