String to list

Question

Please is there anyway to change a string to a list?? E.g.

file=("this is a sentence")

so my question is that is there anyway to change file into a list with 'this' having index 0, 'is' with index 1 , 'a' with index 2 and 'sentence' with index 3

Answer 1

Yes, there is. You must use split like this:
file = "this is text"
l = file.split(" ")
print(l)

It will bring you what you want.

Answer 2

if you have simple string without spaces like this.

x='man'

you can convert into list in very simple way using list function.

print(list(x)) #output=['m','a','n']

Answer 3

def func(a):
print(a.split(" "))
func("this is some help")

Answer 4

sorry but does it work for an integer and how?
