What does this mean?

Question

What does split() method mean? I can't understand wheb do I use this.

Answer 1

It's awesome, used on a string of characters, it "splits" or seperates words into a list. By default, it splits at spaces. so:

sent = "hello there world".split()
print(sent)

#output
["hello", "there", "world"]

But also you can split on any character. Say you have ip addresses. "10.10.0.30"
ip = "10.10.0.30".split('.')
print(ip)

#output
["10", "10", "0", "30"]

best for chopping up data to make it easier to manage and change

Answer 2

It used to convert a string to list which is based on the argument u gave in the split
I.e( it will drop the element on the string then split to list)
Eg
```py
"BRuhBoy".split("B")
# it drops B and convert to list like ["Ruh","oy"]
```
