Sorry if this is a noob question. But I am new to programming so I am still learning.
I have a string
string = "Hello Bye Hi" I split it up:
new_list_string = string.split output:
["Hello", "Bye", "Hi"] My question is how can I use this newly generated list, for example.
if I do this:
new_list_string[1] I don't get "Bye", instead I get an error:
builtins.TypeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object is not iterable the problem is you did string.split, and not string.split()
Deeper explanation: when you do string.split, you never actually call split. Therefore, it returns the function rather than the list. You need to call it with the syntax string.split()
try new_list_string = string.split()
then you should be able to access
new_list_string[0] new_list_string[1] new_list_string[2] try this...
new_list_string()[1] although it is better not to use string as a variable, because it is the name of a python module. Anyway, you should use...
s.split() To answer the question, you can use index(v) to find a value's index :).
string.split()you need to add parens to call the method, also try to avoid usingstringas a variable name.
