It will help if you work on getting your terminology clearer.
Computing is a precise art, it has very specific meanings for things.
From your previous thread I assume you mean that you want break a list
down into its individual parts so that you can convert them to strings?
To get the individual parts you do indeed need a loop - a for loop is
probably best.
To convert them to strings use the str() type convertor on each
part.
for part in myList:
myString = str(part)
But assuming this is still part of your previous exercise you really
want to create one long string so you probably want the last line to
look like
myString = myString + str(part)
There are more efficient ways of doing that but they might confuse you
so I'll leave it with string addition for now.
