How does this happen ?

Question

a = ['bug found', "in line1"]
a[1] = "\n" + a[1]

for i in a:
temp = i.split()
print(' '.join(temp))

I have written the above code and am expecting the output as
---------------
bug found

in line1
---------------
but instead I got the following output
-----------------------
bug found
in line1
-----------------------

Can anyone give the explanation for this ? And how do I code inorder to get the desired output?

Answer 1

By default split looks for all whitespace characters.

In this concrete example it would work when you use i.split(' ').

If you just want to separate each array entry by a Line I suggest to just add a line break to the print call.
