— It will depends on how many words, separated by spaces, will your text variable will have
Language:
python3
Source:
text = "Guido van Rossum"
print(text.split())
Result:
['Guido', 'van', 'Rossum']
— Check that and think how could you do your script to not have an ValueError with Guido's name
— The best way to store splited string in a variable it store it in one variable as list
— This kind of things, splitting text to get first_name and last_name are really tricky... how would you manage these:
- Guido van Rossum
- Richard Matthew Stallman
Which will be the first_name and the second_name?
— Sorry, if I confuse you
— Uh
— That's my bad English
— Or van der
— 🤷🏻♂️
splitting text to get names are really tricky, that's why it's preffered to ask and save that data in separate variables rather that just one long variable

— Yeah.
