I want my Python function to split a sentence (input) and store each word in a list. My current code splits the sentence, but does not store the words as a list. How do I do that?
def split_line(text):
# split the text
words = text.split()
# for each word in the line:
for word in words:
# print the word
print(words)
text.split()
This should be enough to store each word in a list. words
is already a list of the words from the sentence, so there is no need for the loop.
Second, it might be a typo, but you have your loop a little messed up. If you really did want to use append, it would be:
words.append(word)
not
word.append(words)
