I already have a program that mostly works.
def separate(char, text, splitat='after'):
#will split at the point before/after the character you choose
#if splitat is anything other than before or after, it will function as the split() method
split = text.split(char)
if splitat == 'after':
split = [_ + str(char) for _ in split]
split[len(split)-1] = split[len(split)-1].split('e')[0]
elif splitat == 'before':
split = [str(char) + _ for _ in split]
try:
split[0] = split[0].split('e')[1]
except: pass
else: return
return split
but when I run it as separate('x', 'ashkjadhssdx', '{before or after}')
, it returns this:
#splitat: before
['xashkjadhssd', 'x']
#splitat: after
['ashkjadhssdx', 'x']
how do I fix this?
>Solution :
Use if condition to check if the length of a string is greater than 1 or not, and only concatenate when the length is greater than 1.
