Python split String | Without split() Function

How to Splitting strings in Python without split()?

The easiest way to split a string in python using the Python split() function. But in this tutorial, we will find other ways (without using the split() function) to do it.

Do split strings, using a for loop, array and append:-

In the example, first need 2 variables, a “split_value” array variable for store splitter string and another one “tmp” variable to store a single word.

Inside for-loop condition statement have an if-else condition which checking the next character is space or not. If space then appends it in “split_value“ array variable else append in “tmp” varible.

sentence = 'Python Programming tutorial'
split_value = []
tmp = ''
for c in sentence:
    if c == ' ':
        split_value.append(tmp)
        tmp = ''
    else:
        tmp += c

# for last word
if tmp:
    split_value.append(tmp)

print(split_value)

Output: [‘Python’, ‘Programming’, ‘tutorial’]

Output in Python List (Array for other programming languages) format? Use a loop to get in string format or get a single word by using indexing.
