So the practice project is as follows:
Say you have a list value like this: spam = ['apples', 'bananas', 'tofu', 'cats']Write a function that takes a list value as an argument and returns a string with all the items separated by a comma and a space, with and inserted before the last item. For example, passing the previous spam list to the function would return 'apples, bananas, tofu, and cats'. But your function should be able to work with any list value passed to it.
So far I've come up with this:
spam = ['apples', 'bananas', 'tofu', 'cats']def commacode(a_list): a_list.insert(-1, 'and') print(a_list)commacode(spam)And of course the output is just the list values. I've tried to make line 5 as print(str(a_list)), but that gives a syntax error. My line of thinking is that I have to change it to a string, but I'm lost. Am I missing something in the chapter? I've felt like I've gone over it several times. I feel like len(a_list) should be somewhere in there but that would just give me a value of 5. Any thoughts, or how I should go about thinking about this would be great help. I always feel like I'm really understanding this stuff and then I get to these practice projects and am ALWAYS confused on what to do. I know the practice projects are going to use some information we've learned in previous chapters and then focus mainly on the chapter we are on. Chapter 4 covers lists, list values, string values, tuples, copy.copy(), and copy.deepcopy() just to name a few.
