Question: Hello, for the last line in the code, could anyone show me how to perform it using f' strings, instead of the format() method and join()method.

Question: Hello, for the last line in the code, could anyone show me how to perform it using f' strings, instead of the format() method and join()method. I can use f strings to format the first half of the code, 

print(f' {course:<8} {avg_grade:>4.1f}') 

In the code, gradebook is the dictionary, course is the key, and grades is the value(grades is in the format of a list)

for course, grades in gradebook.items():
        grades.sort() # sort the list of grades
        sum_grades = sum(grades) # sum all grades for the course
        count_grades = len(grades) # determine the number of grades in the list of grades
        avg_grade = sum_grades / count_grades # calculate the average for the course
        if avg_grade < lowest_avg[1]: # determine the course with the lowest average
            lowest_avg = (course, avg_grade)
        print("{:<8} {:>4.1f}% {:>25}".format(course, avg_grade, " ".join("{:>4}%".format(g) for g in grades)))  

**Course Grade Analysis**

In the following analysis, we explore the course grades for three different courses: COP1000, COP2100, and CAP2410.

### Initial Grades

The grades for each course are listed as follows:

- **COP1000**
  - Average: 76.0%
  - Grades: 63%, 67%, 67%, 85%, 98%

- **COP2100**
  - Average: 87.6%
  - Grades: 70%, 87%, 90%, 95%, 96%

- **CAP2410**
  - Average: 82.6%
  - Grades: 64%, 68%, 89%, 94%, 98%

- **Overall Term Average:** 82.1%

### Dropping the Lowest Grade from Each Course

After removing the lowest grade from each course, the averages and grades are recalculated:

- **COP1000**
  - New Average: 79.2%
  - Grades: 67%, 67%, 85%, 98%

- **COP2100**
  - New Average: 92.0%
  - Grades: 87%, 90%, 95%, 96%

- **CAP2410**
  - New Average: 87.2%
  - Grades: 68%, 89%, 94%, 98%

- **New Term Average:** 86.2%

### Dropping Course with Lowest Average

The course with the lowest average (COP1000) is dropped, resulting in the following term calculations:

- **Remaining Courses:**
  - **COP2100**
    - Average: 92.0%
    - Grades: 87%, 90%, 95%, 96%

  - **CAP2410**
    - Average: 87.2%
    - Grades: 68%, 89%, 94%, 98%

- **Final Term Average:** 89.6%

The strategy of dropping the lowest grades or courses significantly impacts the overall calculations, improving the term averages in each scenario.

Follow-up Question

Thank you, I understand how the code is executed. The problem is that I'm only allowed to use either a for loop, or list comprehension to achieve the result. Is there any way to do so without implementing the "join" function or method, as I have not learned that in class yet. 

Here is the exact requirements:

  • use another for loop to print all grades in the grades list for the course. Use a format identifier to allow for printing of a right-justified grade with a width of 4 followed by a percent sign

Is there any way to only use f strings, for loops, and/or list comprehension to achieve the same result. 

Thank you

Follow-up Question

Hello thank you for the solution. Is there also a way to format the list without using the .join method, and just using f' strings, perhaps in a list comprehension?
