Is there any way to convert strings to lists?

Question

Is there any way to convert strings to lists with each character of the string being one member of the list? Like a string "hello" could be converted into a list with list[0] = "h" and so on?

Answer 1

For the first part of your question, you could use the list() function:

print(list('hello'))

Answer 2

To convert the list to a string, you could use the join function:

z = ''.join(y)
print(z)

Answer 3

And for the second part, you could use slicing:

x = list('hello')
y = x[::-1]
print(y)

Answer 4

I actually need to reverse a string character by character.

Answer 5

Thanks it worked. However could y be converted back to string? Coz i tried print(str(y)) but it gives a list, not a string

Answer 6

Answer 9
