I need to do an input of the string 'AEN' and it must split into ('A', 'E', 'N')

Ive tried several different splits, but it never produces what i need.

The image shows the code I have done.

What im trying is that x produces a result like y. But, Im having issues whit how to achieve it.

x=input('Letras: ')

y=input('Letras: ')

print(x.split())

print(y.split())

Letras: AEN

Letras: A E N

['AEN']

['A', 'E', 'N']

  • "split" is not a programming language. Which one are you using? – tadman Nov 22 '22 at 00:27
  • I am using google colaboratory. Its what my course professor has us using. – Caballu Nov 22 '22 at 00:38
  • Please specify the **programming language** you are using. It's not hard! Without that we've got no idea what this is. Maybe it's pseudo code? – tadman Nov 22 '22 at 00:39

    Sorry first time using this. the programming language is python – Caballu Nov 22 '22 at 00:43
  • I've retagged this as Python so it gets some attention. Keep in mind people look for specific tags they can answer, so mistagging means people may never see it. – tadman Nov 22 '22 at 02:21

You just want list, which will take an arbitrary iterable and produce a new list, one item per element. A string is considered to be an iterable of individual characters.

>>> list('AEN')
['A', 'E', 'N']

str.split is for splitting a string base on a given delimiter (or arbitrary whitespace, when no delimiter is given). For example,

>>> 'AEN'.split('E')
['A', 'N']

When the given delimiter is not found in the string, it is vacuously split into a single string, identical to the original.
