I have this variable :
terms2 = ['5*x^4', '4*x^3', '2/x^2']
I neew to make some changes when '/' appears and after that terms2 should be:
terms2 = ['5*x^4', '4*x^3', '2*x^-2']
I've been shearching for a way to do this for some days, thanks.

3Is `a*x^b` the general format of the terms? A simple fix would be to iterate through the list and replace each string where `/x^` occurs with `*x^-` – usernamenotfound Jan 11 '18 at 21:15

2simply do `terms2 = [x.replace('/x^', '*x^-') for x in terms2]` – Moinuddin Quadri Jan 11 '18 at 21:15
