title: python 2.7.6 printing a list containing five strings using loops
body: <p>I have a list and my professor wants us to print it using loops. How the heck do i do this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>plants = 'apples,  beans,  carrots , dates , eggplant'
  for i in list(plants):
      print plants
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>here is the code that I'm working with. What do i need to fix? I get fifty lines of the list when I do it this way.</p>
  
  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>Forgot to add the final step. It needs to print out this before the list:
  'The items in the list are: ' How would I do this? I am doing this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>print 'The items in the list are: ' + plant
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is based off of Martijn Pieters's answer.
  sorry for the confusion</p>
  
  <p>The expected outcome is this:</p>
  
  <p>The items in the list are:</p>
  
  <p>apples beans carrots dates eggplant</p>
