Split String into List of Characters in Python
You can split a string into a list of characters in Python in many ways.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to split a string into list of characters using for loop and List class.
Examples
1. Split given string into list of characters using For loop
In this example, we will take a string and split it into a list of characters using for loop.
Python Program
def getCharList(str):
return [char for char in str]
str = 'pythonexamples'
print(getCharList(str))
Run Code CopyOutput
['p', 'y', 't', 'h', 'o', 'n', 'e', 'x', 'a', 'm', 'p', 'l', 'e', 's']
2. Split given string into list of characters using List Class
In this example, we will take a string and pass it to the List constructor. String is considered an iterable and is converted to List with each character in the string as element of list.
Output
['p', 'y', 't', 'h', 'o', 'n', 'e', 'x', 'a', 'm', 'p', 'l', 'e', 's']
Summary
In this tutorial of Python Examples, we learned how to split a string into list of characters, with the help of well detailed examples.
