I'm not sure where I'm wrong here?

template = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!" def string_factory(value, string): strings = [] for v in value: strings.append(string.format(**v)) return strings

it works when I execute it.

string_factory.py 
# 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(value, string):
    strings = []
    for v in value:
        strings.append(string.format(**v))
    return strings

Well, your string_factory method looks different from theirs. Yours takes 2 arguements while theirs only takes 1.
