Splitting a string in 2 pieces

Question

For example if I have

x = "12345;9876"
y = ?
z = ?

how can i make it so y is only the part before the semicolon and z is the part after the semicolon

please study and try doing yourself instead of really basic questions, please — Vignesh, Jul 23 '21 at 12:15

y, z = x.split(';')

This uses two features:

The split function (method) to split the string into two parts (or more, if there are more semicolons)
Tuple unpacking, which lets us assign a list (or similar) to several variables, putting each item of the list into the corresponding variable

Fairly simple:

y, z = x.split(";")

You can try this -

x = "12345;9876"

y = x.split(';')[0]

z = x.split(';')[1]

print(y)
print(z)

Result:

12345 # This is y
9876 # This is z
