How to convert list elements to string using Python?

Question

How should I convert list elements to string using Python?

For example I have a list that looks like this:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

And I want it to look like this:

['1', '2', '3', '4', '5']

Please add a sample input and expected output. This question is very vague. Take a look at writing minimal reproducible example — Ch3steR

Use a one-liner to iterate over all elements it an Iterable and use str(element) to cast the element as a string

new_list = [str(i) for i in old_list]

def listToString(a): li = [] for i in a: li.append(str(i)) return li

We can input the list in the function.
