remove square brackets from dictionary values output

Question

Hello :) I wrote a little code that creates a dictionary of three people and their favorite numbers.

favorite_numbers={"lore":[5, 19], "louise":[7,24],"annie":[1,2]}

I'd want an output that prints the name of each person along their favorite numbers

for prs, numb in favorite_numbers.items():
    pers= prs
    numb= favorite_numbers[prs]
    print(f"{pers}'s fav numbers are {numb}")

this is how i've done it. the thing I dislike, however, is that the numbers appear in square brackets my output ís:

lore's fav numbers are [5, 19]
louise's fav numbers are [7, 24]
annie's fav numbers are [1, 2]

I'd want it to be:

lore's fav numbers are 5, 19
louise's fav numbers are 7, 24
annie's fav numbers are 1, 2

so my question is, how should I print my dictionary so that I get rid of the brackets? Thank you in advance

When using `f""` to print something, whatever you place inside the curly brackets is interpreted. Taking advantage of that and of the fact that `[` and `]` will always be the first and last characters, you can write `{str(numb)[1:-1]}` to have the first and last pieces of the dictionary's string representation removed. — berna1111, Jan 03 '22 at 23:33
`numb` is a list, and this is the default way how python prints out lists. — Gino Mempin, Jan 03 '22 at 23:41

You can use

', '.join(map(str, numb))

inside the curly brackets in place of numb. This line converts numbers to strings and joins the strings with a comma and space between them.
