如何在python中将字符串列表作为函数参数传递？

Question

I'm having a list of string and i need to pass it to function as a parameter.

a_list = ['apple-banana','brinjal-carrot','cucumber']

function_call = fruit(a_list)

def fruit(a_list):
  print("Inside Function:")
  print(a_list)
  if(len(a_list)!=0):
     for i in a_list:
        print(i)

But what I'm getting for a_list is something like this:

['a','p','p','l','e','-','b','a','n','a','n','a',....]

What I need is:

Inside Function:
'apple-banana'
'brinjal-carrot'
'cucumber'

Where I'm going wrong.?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Removing the redundant code with some highlights:

a_list = ['apple-banana','brinjal-carrot','cucumber']

def fruit(a_list):       # no need to check for the len or if the a_list exists, the for loop takes care of that
    for i in a_list:           
        print(i)
        
fruit(a_list) # your function is not returning anything so no point of assigning 

OUTPUT:

apple-banana                                                                                                                                                                
brinjal-carrot                                                                                                                                                              
cucumber
