Writing a function that creates a list and prints elements

I tried creating a list and for loop to print elements. #python I was told that the function below, doesn’t create the list, it is using a hard-coded list instead. How can I fix it? def list_iterate(): list1 = ["I", "Like", "Eating", "Banana", "Bread"] for element in list1: print(element) list_iterate()

Let's say you have an input stored in a variable (variable "a" for example) You want the function to create a list, then the function shall have one argument def my_List(x): x = list(x) for i in x: return i print(my_List(a)) I hope I could help

Ali Abdelhady print(i) won't return anything either, it will just print. This whole post is unclear, we're still waiting for the original poster to answer.

Ali Abdelhady your function is wrong, it would stop in the first iteration of the loop.

Ali Abdelhady because the return statement will immediatly stop the function. In this case, the function will only return the first element of the list.

Creates what list ? Your question is unclear, what do you mean by "Create list" exactly ?

Aymane Boukrouh so, I guess it should be print(i) instead?
