What is the best way of converting string to a list of string

Question

I want to know what is the best way of converting the string into list of string

For Example:

__string = 'ABCDEFGHIJ'
list_string = ['AB', 'CD', 'EF', 'GH', 'IJ']

How to do this?

Answer 1

[a+b for a, b in (zip(*([iter(text)]*2)))]

# or

[text[i*2:i*2+2] for i in range(len(text)//2)]

# or
import re
re.findall("..?", text) //handles string of odd length

if the string is not even the less char will be missed. can be easily fixed if needed

Answer 2

easy peasy xD

txt= 'ABCDEFGHIJ'

result = [txt[i:i+2] for i in range(0,len(txt),2)]
