python: convert each element to string in a list, without using for loop

Question

for solving above problem I normally use for loop like that:

list1 = ['1', '2', 3,32423,5.76, "afef"]
list2 = []
for ele in list1:
  list2.append(str(ele))

does python has some build in function for solving that problem?

use list comprehensions eg [str(i) for i in list1]

You can use the built-in function map like the following:

list1 = ['1', '2', 3, 32423, 5.76, "afef"]
list2 = list(map(str, list1))

for this simple solution even list2=list1 will also work. Correct me if I am wrong on this.

@ArunbhYashaswi What do you mean? list1 contains numbers like 3, 32423, 5.76, but list2 contains only strings. list1 == ['1', '2', 3, 32423, 5.76, 'afef'] while list2 == ['1', '2', '3', '32423', '5.76', 'afef'].
