Split string and find position of each digit.

Question

I have an input of “23 34” and I want to split them into 2 separate strings so “23” and “34”. Then once they have been split I would like to be able to loop through both numbers and find the position of each digit in the numbers.

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Have you attempted the task? If you have any code we can inspect, it would help us figure out where you are stuck, and address that accordingly.

Answer 2

So I’ve tried starting it off like this:

numbers = “23 34”
new_numbers = numbers.split()

for num in range(len(new_numbers):

But then i’m a bit stuck on whether i should be using if/elif statements to say
If number of digits is 1 then position is 0, elif number of digits is 2 then position is 0 and 1.

If that makes sense?

Answer 3

str = "1234"
#splits the string into 2 separate strings.
x = str[:len(str)//2]
y = str[len(str)//2:]

#prints the location of each element.
for count,k in enumerate(x,start =0):
print(count,k)

Answer 4

You can use split() function: input().split(" ") and then may be use list comprehension

Answer 5

Yes, you can use if/elif and find the index of each digit

Answer 6

Python's enumeration function would be easier to implement than to use if/else statements.

Answer 7

Yeh i saw that from your example, thank you. I’m just trying to use the functions im currently learning so i can get used to how they work.

Answer 8

Ben I dont know what exactly you wana do... but i think you are close...after the for you can put print(new_numbers[num],num)..
That get the number and its position
