Tell us what’s happening:

hi, I have tried all logic yet I couldn’t debug it, please can you give me a hint?

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

What did you try?

The medical_records variable contains a list of objects. You need to turn it into a string. So, how would you create a string variable? Like this?

variable = "Hi, I'm a string [anything can go in these quotes]"

Now, how would you transform the content of medical_records in a string?

@pkdvalis

sorry, I’m still a bit confused

np here’s another example.

a = 5

That’s a number, but I want to make it into a string instead.

a = "5"

Now it’s a string.

a = [5]

Now it’s a list

a = {5}

Now it’s a set

@pkdvalis, Thanks for the hint…I did it!
