Question

how do I insert a question mark before every comma in a string with python? for example, the sting would be

string = 'the, quick, brown, fox, jumps, over, the lazy, dog'
print(string)

and the desired output would be

the?, quick?, brown?, fox?, jumps?, over?, the?, lazy?, dog

`print(string)` — prints the string above. Can you share your code, so we could help you correct it? — Austin, Jul 17 '20 at 14:38

you could do this

string.replace(",", "?,")
print(string)

would output in:

'the?, quick?, brown?, fox?, jumps?, over?, the?, lazy?, dog'

Try this:

string_list = string.split(", ")

new_list = []
for string in string_list:
    new_list.append(string + "?")
final_string = ", ".join(new_list)

Or this: new_string = string.replace(", ", "?, ")
