[Solved] When should we use split() in Python?

I don’t understand the confusion. The split() function return a list of all subparts of your string by removing all occurences of the given argument.

For example, if you have the following string : “Hello world!” and split this one by split(“o”) then your output will be : [“Hell”, ” w”, “rld!”]

With a code:

str = "Hello world!"
split_str = str.split("o")

print "str has type", type(str), "with the value", str, "\n"
print "split_str has type", type(split_str), "with the value", split_str

Then, the output will be :

str has type string with the value Hello world!

split_str has type list with the value [“Hell”, ” w”, “rld!”]

So, if you have a string that represents a sequence of different integers separated by space: you could operate with this solution.

input_integers = raw_input().split(" ") # splits the given input string
numbers = [int(x) for x in input_integers] # iteration to convert from string to int
numbers = sorted(numbers) # makes a sort on the integer list
print numbers # display

It’s a very basic use of string so, for the next time, have the reflex to read the doc. It’s the first tool that you may read to have your solution.
