def commafy(list_):
if len(list_) > 2:
list_[-1] = 'and ' + list_[-1]
return ', '.join(list_)
#return ', '.join(list_[:-1]) + ' ' + list_[-1] # to print out "string1, string2 and string3" instead of "string1, string2, and string3"

print(commafy(['trinket', 'learning', 'wtf']))
print(commafy(['tralala', 'o7', '1337']))

>>> trinket, learning, and wtf
>>> tralala, o7, and 1337


If there is less than 3 strings:

def modify_last_element(list_):
list_[-1] = 'and ' + list_[-1]
return list_

def commafy(list_):

if len(list_) > 2:
modify_last_element(list_)
return ', '.join(list_)
elif len(list_) == 2:
modify_last_element(list_)
return ' '.join(list_)
else:
return list_[0]

print(commafy(['trinket', 'learning', 'wtf']))
print(commafy(['tralala', '1337']))
print(commafy(['tralala']))


>>> trinket, learning, and wtf
>>> tralala and 1337
>>> tralala

If you don't want to modify the last item of the list :-

def commafy(list):
return ', '.join(list[:-1]) + ", and " + list[-1]

[_avenger]

What if you didn't want to change the contents of the list after using this function? The modification of the last elements is done on the actual list correct?

[faisaltaher]

def commafy(list):
if list[-1]:
list[-1] = "and "+list[-1]

a = ", ".join(list)
return a
print(commafy(["hello", "bro", "ok"]))
it will say:
hello, bro, and ok

@Clever Programmer
Hi, I'm trying to find what coding language to learn, I would like to know how to use terminal.

[shreshthkaushik]

Hey i made a different solution on it. It's longer than yours though Qazi.
"""
def commafy(list):
string = ''
for number in range(0, len(list)):
if number == len(list)-1 :
string += 'and ' + list[number]
else:
string += list[number] + ', '
print string

print commafy(['lions', 'tigers', 'bears'])

"""

Hi Qazi I am an undergraduate student so I was thinking 🤔 of getting into google summer of code but I am unable to figure out that which field should I choose
whether its related to data or related to web and which courses should I choose in order to learn any one of it...please help me out🆘

def commafy(given_list):
outputlist=''
for i in range(0, len(given_list)):
if (i==len(given_list)-1):
outputlist+='and '+str(given_list[i])
else:
outputlist+=str(given_list[i])+', '
return outputlist

i did this before i watched video and i thought "omg i did amazing this time" then i saw 2 line code then i was like -_-

Hey bro many of us want to enroll in your website, but we cant

[jaegerdanger]

Hey, bro! is it necessary to enroll in to your website? cuz i want to learn about python from the first start. Btw, great videos tho! keep it up 👍

[albertoeusebio]

why don't you use a for loop?
for i in len(list):
if list[i] == list[len(list)-1]:
print "and "+list[i]
else:
print list[i]+", "

I didn't compile it but it should work

[hornetiron]
