How can I convert a string to a list in Python using a for loop?

Question

Here's what I have:

def reverse(text): opposite = [] for character in text: stuff = opposite.append(character) return stuff

Is there something wrong with this for loop?

Answer 1

Couldn't you use the split method instead it will return a list

text.split()

Or even

list(text)

Which would list out each character

Answer 2

yourstring='welcome'
l=[]
for char in yourstring:
      l.append(char)
print l
