如何将列表中的一项转换为 Python 中的字符串？

Question

So, imagine I have a list Things:

things = ['bananas', 'oranges', 'apples']

And I want to convert item 2 (index 1) into a string to store it into another variable.

When I try to just print it out, I get this:

['oranges']

I want this to be a string instead of an item in a list.

I've tried the str() function, but Python spits out a TypeError. Any help is appreciated!

Edit: Here's the context:

def whileremove(x):
    while(x in scriptlines):
        new_r = scriptlines[x]
        new_r = new_r.replace(x, "")

I'm not sure if I'm doing something contrary to my original question, but new_r.replace doesn't treat new_r as a string.

Answer 1

Accessing things[1] is itself returns a string you don't have to change this to string. print(things[1]) you will eventually get 'oranges'.

Answer 2

This should be relatively straight forward. To access the second element you can use:

things[1]

This will return the string 'oranges'.

To confirm this you can do the following:

things = ['bananas', 'oranges', 'apples']
orange_string = things[1]
print(type(orange_string))

Which will return:

<class 'str'>

Answer 3

things = ['bananas', 'oranges', 'apples'] 
othervariable = str(things[1]) 

In [7]: type(othervariable)
Out[7]: str

In [8]: othervariable
Out[8]: 'oranges'

???

Answer 4

While converting a list to a string, accessing its elements will eventually return a String.

things = ['bananas', 'oranges', 'apples']

Here, things[1] will return 'oranges' To confirm the return type, just type(things[1]), this results in <class 'str'>
