how split works python code example

Example 1: split string python

string = 'James Smith Bond'
x = string.split(' ') #Splits every ' ' (space) in the string to a list
# x = ['James','Smith','Bond']
print('The name is',x[-1],',',x[0],x[-1])

Example 2: python split

>>> '1,2,3'.split(',')
['1', '2', '3']
>>> '1,2,3'.split(',', maxsplit=1)
['1', '2,3']
>>> '1,2,,3,'.split(',')
['1', '2', '', '3', '']
