Ex 15: Numbered Task List

Problem​

Build a small helper for a task manager that takes a plain list of tasks and returns them as a numbered list starting from 1.

Rules​

• Define generate_numbered_tasks(tasks: list[str]) -> list[str].
• Use enumerate() with start=1.
• Return a list where each item is formatted as "1. Task Name".

Boilerplate​

Copy below code and paste to our IDE for head start.

# Write our code inside this function
def generate_numbered_tasks(tasks: list[str]) -> list[str]:
    pass # remove this

# Call with test data
print(generate_numbered_tasks(["Clean fridge", "Thermostat check"]))

Expected Output​

['1. Clean fridge', '2. Thermostat check']

Solution​

Only view the solution after trying our best.

def generate_numbered_tasks(tasks: list[str]) -> list[str]:
    task_list: list[str] = []
    for idx, task_name in enumerate(tasks, start=1):
        task_list.append(f"{idx}. {task_name}")
    return task_list

# Test call
print(generate_numbered_tasks(["Clean fridge", "Thermostat check"]))
