Split a Response in Python

I am trying to get a credit card's credential from the front-end, I am getting a 'expiry date' response in ajax 20/2020, and i am trying to split it using python split() function.

x = 20/2020

I want result as 20 and 2020 but its coming it different ways as mentioned below, so how can i get two integers in split?

x.split() = ['20/2020']
x.split("/") = ["20","2020"]

Right now i am getting two or one string in output.

You said:

x.split() -> ['20/2020']
x.split("/") -> ["20","2020"]

Both of these are as expected.

str.split() returns a list (comparable to an array in many languages).

str.split() with no parameters will split on any whitespace, of which there is none in '20/2020'.

str.split('/') properly splits on the '/', giving you a list with 2 elements instead of one.

If you know your input will only ever contain a single '/', then you can get the 2 integers you need in a few ways. Here's a couple:

x = '20/2020'
x = x.split('/')
month = x[0]
year = x[1]

Or:

x = '20/2020'
month, year = x.split('/')

To understand why the second one works, you can see the answer here: Assign multiple values of a list

Can you try doing this:

a,b = x.split('/')

This will work only if there are 2 elements after splitting.

you can use map to get in int

>> list(map(int, x.split("/")))
>> [20, 2020]

You can change int to float if you want result in float

Just map to ints like this

x = '20/2020'
list(map(int,x.split('/'))) #[20, 2020]

Furthermore, you can refer to my previous answer to the similar question here
