im really confused on what i have to do for this challenge
from functools import reduce
strings = [
"Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.",
"My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.",
"A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.",
"Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.",
"My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven know and we don't know where she is.",
"Life is hard. After all, it kills you.",
"All my life, I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see that I should have been more specific.",
"Everyone's like, 'overnight sensation.' It's not overnight. It's years of hard work.",

Treehouse Moderator 68,425 PointsThe two arguments reduce(func, iterable)
function expects two arguments:
- a function to use when comparing two items in an iterable, return the "desired" one
Use a
lambda
function as the function. Hint: use the form lambda x, y: x if <cond> else y
- an iterable subject to the comparisons of the above function
The iterable is the defined
strings
object.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!
