Actually, this code runs perfectly when I remove " from the list with the help of python remove function.

It's only happening in code coach problem playground.

Maninder $ingh I still don't unserstand, it doesn't show " on my part. Can you be more specific ? Or give some example ?

Answer 2

The problem is found on line 11. You're splitting by commas or spaces.

print(re.split(" |,", "January 1,a 2021")
# ["January", "1", "a", "2021"]

# The original string is equal to
# "January" + " " + "1" + "," + "a" + " " + "2021

But your pattern doesn't consider the case ", " (a comma followed by a space). What's after the comma and before the next blank space? An empty string.

print(re.split(" |,", "January 1, 2021")
# ["January", "1", "", "2021"]

# The original string is equal to
# "January" + " " + "1" + "," + "" + " " + "2021
