According your code you are use empty string being passed as the separator in the `split()` method,this is wrong..

`split()` method requires a non-empty separator to split the string into a list of words.

To fix the error:-
use this `" "`instead of `""`..

Answer 2

1. you may not make a linebreak within a line of code in python until you mask the linebreak with a backslash.

2. the indentation of the line "j+=1" is wrong.

3. split() may not have an empty string as separator

Answer 3

Rolando Abareta ,

> instead of using an index that has to be *explicitely incremented*, we can use *enumerate()*, starting with value 1.

> instead of juggling with spaces and concatenation, it is easier to use comma notation in print() function. to output *int or other numbers*, we do not need to convert them to strings for output when using comma notation.

> split() does not need any argument, since it uses spaces as separator by default.
