Python String split function signature

1 2 3 |
str.split(sep=None, maxsplit=-1) |
Parameters
sep: A string parameter that will be used as a separator.
maxsplit: Number of times split
Let’s see some examples.
Using split without any parameter
if we don’t provide any separator, string will be splitted by space by default.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
str = "Hello world from Java2blog" # call split function list1=str.split() print(str) print('List of words: ',list1) |
Output:
Hello world from Java2blog
List of words: [‘Hello’, ‘world’, ‘from’, ‘Java2blog’]
List of words: [‘Hello’, ‘world’, ‘from’, ‘Java2blog’]
Using split with separator comma

str = "India,China,Nepal,Bhutan" # call split function listOfCountries=str.split(',') print(str) print('List of countries:',listOfCountries) |
Output:
India,China,Nepal,Bhutan
List of countries: [‘India’, ‘China’, ‘Nepal’, ‘Bhutan’]
List of countries: [‘India’, ‘China’, ‘Nepal’, ‘Bhutan’]
