How to split a string in Python?

The split() method separates the string by the given separator and returns the lists of string.

By default, split() takes whitespace as a delimiter.

e.g.,

s=" Python is a famous programming language"
a=s.split()
for temp in a:
    print(temp)

output- python
        is
        a
        famous
        programming
        language

Parameters

• Separators:-String splits at this specified separator.
• maxsplit:-  It is a number, which tells us to split the string into maximum of provided number of times. If it is not provided then there is no limit.

e.g.,

s="Have#a#good#day"
a=s.split("#",2)
for temp in a:
    print(temp)

output- Have
        a
        good#day

This is how we use split.
