|

|

#### 💡 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(' ')
|
||||
['']
|
||||
```
