Best partition program in python

Python String partition() method splits the string at the first occurrence of the separator and returns a tuple containing the part before the separator, separator and the part after the separator. Here, the separator is a string that is given as the argument.

Python String partition() Method Syntax:

Syntax: string.partition(separator)

Parameters: 

• separator: a substring that separates the string

Return: Returns a tuple of 3 elements. The substring before the separator, the separator, the part after the separator.

Python String partition() Method Example:

Python3

string = "geeks for geeks"

print(string, "after partition", string.partition("for"))

geeks for geeks after partition ('geeks ', 'for', ' geeks')

Example 1: Working of Python String partition() Method

Python3

string = "light attracts bug"

print(string.partition('attracts'))

string = "gold is heavy"

print(string.partition('is'))

('light ', 'attracts', ' bug')
('gold ', 'is', ' heavy')

Example 2: partition() Method only partitions on first occurrence of separator

Python String partition() Method only considers the first occurrence of the separator in the string.

string = "I am happy, I am proud"

print(string.partition('am'))

Output: 

('b ', 'follows', ' a, c follows b')
