Python | Split a sentence into list of words
Given a Sentence, write a Python program to convert the given sentence into list of words.
Examples:
Input : ['Hello World'] Output : ['Hello', 'world'] Input : ['Geeks For geeks'] Output : ['Geeks', 'for', 'geeks']
The simplest approach provided by Python to convert the given list of Sentence into words with separate indices is to use split() method. This method split a string into a list where each word is a list item. We have alternative ways to use this function in order to achieve the required output.
Method #1 : Splitting the first index element
- Python3
# Python3 program to Convert single# indexed list into multiple indexed listdef convert(lst): return (lst[0].split())# Driver codelst = ["Geeks For geeks"]print( convert(lst)) |
Output:
['Geeks', 'For', 'geeks']
Method #2 : Using for loop
We can also use a for loop to split the first element. This method is also beneficial if we have more than one element.
- Python3
# Python3 program to Convert single# indexed list into multiple indexed listdef convert(lst): return ([i for item in lst for i in item.split()]) # Driver codelst = ['Geeksforgeeks is a portal for geeks']print( convert(lst)) |
Output:
['Geeksforgeeks', 'is', 'a', 'portal', 'for', 'geeks']
Method #3 : Using join()
We can split the given list and than join using join() function. We can also use this when you have a list of string or single string inside a list.
- Python3
# Python3 program to Convert single# indexed list into multiple indexed listdef convert(lst): return ' '.join(lst).split() # Driver codelst = ['Hello Geeks for geeks']print( convert(lst)) |
Output:
['Hello', 'Geeks', 'for', 'geeks']
