How To Convert Python String To Array
ItsMyCode |
In Python, we do not have an in-built array data type. However, we can convert Python string to list, which can be used as an array type.
In the earlier tutorial, we learned how to convert list to string in Python. Here we will look at converting string to list with examples.
We will be using the
String.split() method to convert string to array in Python.Python’s
split() method splits the string using a specified delimiter and returns it as a list item. The delimiter can be passed as an argument to the split() method. If we don’t give any delimiter, the default will be taken as whitespace.The Syntax of
split() method isstring.split(separator, maxsplit)The
split() method takes two parameters, and both are optional.In this example, we are not passing any arguments to the
split() method. Hence it takes whitespace as a separator and splits the string into a list.# Split the string using the default arguments
text= "Welcome to Python Tutorials !!!"
print(text.split())Output
['Welcome', 'to', 'Python', 'Tutorials', '!!!']In this example, we split the string using a specific character. We will be using a comma as a separator to split the string.
# Split the string using the separator
text= "Orange,Apple,Grapes,WaterMelon,Kiwi"
print(text.split(','))Output
['Orange', 'Apple', 'Grapes', 'WaterMelon', 'Kiwi']If you want to convert a string to an array of characters, you can use the
list() method, an inbuilt function in Python.Note: If the string contains whitespace, it will be treated as characters, and whitespace also will be converted to a list.
# Split the string to array of characters
text1= "ABCDEFGH"
print(list(text1))
text2="A P P L E"
print(list(text2))Output
['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H']
['A', ' ', 'P', ' ', 'P', ' ', 'L', ' ', 'E']You can also use list comprehension to split strings into an array of characters, as shown below.
# Split the string to array of characters using list Comprehension
text1= "ABCDEFGH"
output1= [x for x in text1]
print(output1)
text2="A P P L E"
output2=[x for x in text2]
print(list(text2))Output
['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H']
['A', ' ', 'P', ' ', 'P', ' ', 'L', ' ', 'E']The post How To Convert Python String To Array appeared first on ItsMyCode.
