If you want to remove that '\n' character you have to specify exactly that in this line of code here:
You have to use another method in conjunction with .strip() (ie: before applying .strip().
I am having an issue on step 12. The list looks correct, and I watched the video and it appears my code is the same. However, my colors are being output as numbers instead of the text in the list. I don’t see anyone else asking about it, so I must have really messed up!
Please post your formatted code and we will move this to a new topic.
For Step 8, Why would the creation of the list transaction_clean = inside the for loop
change what the for loops are appending? with my current code pasted below the output is the same 3 variables repeated over and over again.
daily_sales_replaced = daily_sales.replace(';,;', '!' )
daily_transactions = daily_sales_replaced.split(',')
#print(daily_transactions)
daily_transactions_split = []
for i in daily_transactions:
daily_transactions_split.append(i.split('!'))
#print(daily_transactions_split)
transactions_clean = []
transaction_clean = []
for t in daily_transactions_split:
#why do i need to create the transaction_clean list here and instead of before the for loop?
for x in t:
transaction_clean.append(x.replace("\n"," ").strip(' '))
transactions_clean.append(transaction_clean)
#print(transactions_clean)
This operation involves appending lists to a list. Nesting is a given in that circumstance. Each new iteration requires an empty slate on which to draw the next list. It starts with that before the inner loop begins.

Hi All, can I get a comment on my code for task 22 below? I got the correct output but am keen to get some feedback or see other ways of achieving it. Thanks!
for color in colors:
if color in thread_sold_split:
count = color_count(color)
print("{count} {color} threads were sold today".format(count=count, color=color))
The if statement is not needed, If the color is not in the other list it will come back with a count of 0.
f-string is a useful way to output that doesn’t require a method or parameters.
print (f"{count} {color} threads were sold today.")
Thanks for the response, I will do some research on f-strings!

transactions_clean = []
for transaction in daily_transactions_split:
transaction_clean = []
for data_point in transaction:
transaction_clean.append(data_point.replace('\n', '').strip(' '))
transactions_clean.append(transaction_clean)
print(transactions_clean)
This results in printing each transaction 4 times, but it seems exactly as it does in the video
