Introduction

The task is to split the given string and also join the strings based on the delimiter (here we are using space delimiter for splitting and ‘ – ‘ for joining) .

In machine learning, we often come into the scenario where we have to specifically select some string. Here splitting comes into play. We can take simple example; splitting the address into multiple format (house number, street address, area, city, state , pin code). And use join to get the complete address.

Program

def str_split(input_str):
# Splitting string using space delimiter
    output_split = input_str.split(' ')
    return output_split
   
def str_join(output_split):
# Joining string using '-' delimiter
    output_join = '-'.join(output_split)
    return output_join


input_str = input("Enter the string : ")


# Splitting string
output_split = str_split(input_str)
print("Splitting string: ",output_split)


#Joining strings
output_join = str_join(output_split)
print("Joining string :", output_join)

Output

Explanation

In the above python code we have used split() and join() to split and join the strings respectively. We have created two separate functions for this. The input_str is passed as argument to the function str_split and the output is stored in variable output_split. The split string is printed on the screen.

Now, we passed the split string ( output_split) variable as the argument to function str_join to join the strings using delimited. The joined string is returned to the variable output_join and is printed on the screen.
