how to put quotation marks for string

Question

cat_unique = ['greetings',
 'BB_Device_has_physical_damage',
 'Cracked_Shatterd_screen_Yes',
 'Cracked_Shatterd_screen_No',
 'Broken_split_or_deformed_case_Yes',
 'Broken_split_or_deformed_case_No',
 'Is_it_bent_batter_prongs_Yes',
 'Is_it_bent_battery_prongs_No',
 'Laser_window_cracked_Missing_Yes',
 'Laser_window_cracked_Missing_No',
 'Screen_not_respoding_Yes',
 'Screen_not_respoding_No',
 'it_Missed_Trigger_Buttons_Yes',
 'Missed_Trigger_Buttons_No']

I want to print with quotation marks cat_unique[0] as "greetings"? How can i do this?

I don't know about PHYTON 3.X, but in python, the quotes are irrelevant here. If you want to _display_ them with quotes, however, you can use `json.dumps(cat_unique)`. — cs95, Sep 08 '17 at 10:58

There are a few ways to print ":

print('"'+ cat_unique[0] + '"') # using single quotes
print("\"" + cat_unique[0] + "\"") # escaping the quotes.

for elem in cat_unique: print ('{0}{1}{2}'.format('"', elem, '"'))

You can print your list element by using this code.

If you will use '"{}"'.format(elem) then the desired output won't come up. – P.Madhukar Sep 08 '17 at 11:32

yeah you are right. I didn't see your double quotes around curly braces. It will work. – P.Madhukar Sep 08 '17 at 11:38

You can just simply add the double quotes to the string

>>> cat_unique = ['"greetings"']
>>> print(cat_unique[0])
"greetings"

for i in range(len(cat_unique)):
    cat_unique[i]='"'+cat_unique[i]+'"'

print cat_unique

it will add double quote to each element in list
