I really have no idea what the question is asking for here, and what to do.
# 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!"]
template = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"
def string_factory():

4,573 PointsUmm... I didn't understand the question and so I asked for help. I forgot to add the actual question, so I added it as a comment. Next time, read everything thoroughly before proceeding to insult someone.

4,573 PointsThis is the question:
Let's test unpacking dictionaries in keyword arguments. You've used the string .format() method before to fill in blank placeholders. If you give the placeholder a name, though, like in template below, you fill it in through keyword arguments to .format(), like this: template.format(name="Kenneth", food="tacos") Write a function named string_factory that accepts a list of dictionaries as an argument. Return a new list of strings made by using ** for each dictionary in the list and the template string provided.
