no clue what I'm doing here...

I kinda hit a wall with loops. I think that if I see an example I will do better.

loop.py 
hellos = [
    "Hello",
    "Tungjatjeta",
    "Grüßgott",
    "Вiтаю",
    "dobrý den",
    "hyvää päivää",
    "你好",
    "早上好"
]for hellos:
    print names+ "World"

Hi Victor

Imagine you had a basket of fruits. imagine the list as a basket. see example below

basket = [

     'apple',
    'mango',
    'grapes',
]

# if i wanted to print out each fruit from my basket, thats where a for loop comes in to play, 
#for something in something, in this case for fruits in basket

count = 0
for fruits in basket:
    count +=1
    print( "fruit {} is a {}".format(count, fruits))


#  result should be
#  fruit 1 is apple
#  fruit 2 is mango
#  fruit 3 is grapes

hope this makes sense, try and see if you can solve the challenge now

thank you, I tried it and the example you gave me worked thank you! I don't know if it is the exact syntax that is necessary but I am still getting it wrong :(

when you say getting it wrong, do you mean you cannot pass the challenge ?

yeah, I cannot pass the challenge. I do not know how to add the word "world" at the end of each word for the loop. I felt comfortable enough to create a loop that calculates interest on an investment, but I cannot seem to figure out how to add this word at the end of each word when I print the list lol.

Hi Victor

you could either concatenate the string with the word "world" or use a placeholder and the format method. see example below

# example 1
print( "Hello  "+"World")
# result will be : Hello World

# example 2

print("Hello {}".format("World"))

# result will be : Hello World

hope this helps
