[Py] How to input a list into sololearn's compiler ?

Question

say I have a code that deals with lists and I want to feed a list to the input() function, is there any way to achieve this ? I tried with commas and spaces but it didn't work

edit : my code now works !

Answer 1

The input() always returns a string, so do the following:

st = input()
# expect separation with spaces
lis = st.split(“ “)
# lis is a list of strings
nums = [float(n) for n in lis]
# nums is a list of floats

Answer 2

Yup, there is a rather simple solution:

a = input().split()

'a' is now an array with each word (string separated by spaces) of the input as a separate value.

Alternatively you could try something like this:

a = input().split(', ')

This splits the input at every comma and space rather than spaces.

Answer 3

neat, thank you :)
(of course it would have to do with list methods ^^)
