```py
|
||||||
|
>>> 'a'.split()
|
||||||
|
['a']
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# is same as
|
||||||
|
>>> 'a'.split(' ')
|
||||||
|
['a']
|
||||||
|

# but
|
||||||

>>> len(''.split())
|
||||||
|
0
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# isn't the same as
|
||||||
|
>>> len(''.split(' '))
|
||||||
|
1
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 💡 Explanation:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- It might appear at first that the default seperator for split is a single space `' '`, but as per the [docs](https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/stdtypes.html#str.split),
|
||||||
|
> If sep is not specified or is None, a different splitting algorithm is applied: runs of consecutive whitespace are regarded as a single separator, and the result will contain no empty strings at the start or end if the string has leading or trailing whitespace. Consequently, splitting an empty string or a string consisting of just whitespace with a None separator returns `[]`.
|
||||||
|
> If sep is given, consecutive delimiters are not grouped together and are deemed to delimit empty strings (for example, `'1,,2'.split(',')` returns `['1', '', '2']`). Splitting an empty string with a specified separator returns `['']`.
|
||||||
|
- Noticing how the leading and trailing whitespaces are handled in the following snippet will make things clear,
|
||||||
|
```py
|
||||||
|
>>> ' a '.split(' ')
|
||||||
|
['', 'a', '']
|
||||||
|
>>> ' a '.split()
|
||||||
|
['a']
|
||||||
|
>>> ''.split(' ')
|
||||||
|
['']
|
||||||
|
```
