How to convert strings into lists

Question

("1 34 23 12 -89 11)

How do I make it like this:

['1','34','23','12','-89','11']

This is spaced string which I need to convert to a list.

Use [split()](https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/stdtypes.html#str.split) — Mark, Apr 12 '19 at 20:27

The split function can do this!

s = '1 34 23 12 -89 11'
l = s.split(' ') # ['1', '34', '23', '12', '-89', '11']

Nitpick: it's a function, not an operator. – Blorgbeard Apr 12 '19 at 20:30

@Blorgbeard Super-tiny nitpick: Its a method, not a function ;) – That1Guy Apr 12 '19 at 20:38

you can use split()

x="1 34 23 12 -89 11"
x.split()

output:

['1','34','23','12','-89','11']
