Splitting string to characters

1) Split string using for loop

Use for loop to convert each character into the list and returns the list/array of the characters.

Python program to split string into array of characters using for loop

# Split string using for loop

# function to split string
def split_str(s):
  return [ch for ch in s]

# main code  
string = "Hello world!"

print("string: ", string)
print("split string...")
print(split_str(string))

Output

string:  Hello world!
split string...
['H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd', '!']

2) Split string by converting string to the list (using typecast)

We can typecast string to the list using list(string) – it will return a list/array of characters.

Python program to split string into array by typecasting string to list

# Split string by typecasting 
# from string to list

# function to split string
def split_str(s):
  return list(s)

# main code  
string = "Hello world!"

print("string: ", string)
print("split string...")
print(split_str(string))

string:  Hello world!
split string...
['H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd', '!']
