Writing short code
Define a function named convert that takes a list of numbers as its only parameter and returns a list of each number converted to a string.
For example, the call convert([1, 2, 3]) should return ["1", "2", "3"].
What makes this tricky is that your function body must only contain a single line of code.

==== SOLUTION ====
By using a simple loop to iterate over the numbers and convert each one to a string. Here’s the single-line function definition:
“`python
def convert(numbers):
      return [str(num) for num in numbers]
“`
Explanation:
– `def convert(numbers):`: This line defines a function named `convert` that takes a single parameter `numbers`, which is a list of numbers.
– `return [str(num) for num in numbers]`: This line uses a list comprehension to iterate over each number `num` in the input list `numbers`, convert it to a string using `str(num)`, and store the result in a new list. This list of strings is then returned as the output of the function.
This single line of code accomplishes the task without using `map()` by converting each number in the input list to a string using a list comprehension.
