please try to solve it I've not yet tried it on workspaces but I'm sure its wrong because I didn't understand packing and unpacking
# 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!"]
def string_factory(**dicts):
result_list = []
for item in dicts:
result_list.append(string.format(dicts))
return result_list
my_dict = {"name":"Kenneth", "food":"tacos"}
string_factory(my_dict)
template = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!".format(**my_dict)

7,114 PointsI've go the answer thanks Mark but it wasn't what I needed but I understand you didn't do what the challenge asked me. You just read the comments which weren't what I needed.
template = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"
values = [{"name": "Michelangelo", "food": "PIZZA"}, {"name": "Garlield", "food": "Lasagna"}]
def string_factory(values):
strings = []
for value in values:
strings.append(template.format(**value))
return strings

I am not up to speed on the specifics of the challenge ... but here is something that may point you to the right direction:
# 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!"]
def string_factory(dicts):
result_list = []
for item in dicts:
result_list.append(item)
return result_list
my_dict = {"name":"Kenneth", "food":"tacos"}
string_factory(my_dict)
template = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!".format(**my_dict)
print(template)
