this question does not make any sense!!!!

my code is this, according to requirements!!

full_name = ("Jack Johnson") name_list = full_name.split()

the output is:

['Jack', 'Johnson']

so it is an list type and split on the space!

Hi Bruno

yes by default if you call the split() method on a string it creates a list by splitting it on the space. You can also split on different delimiters. the code below will split on the ','

test="Hello,There".split(',')
["Hello","There"]

the above example create a list by splitting on the ','
