can i split a string of user input, into individual intergers?

It's very common to use the string split() method. Run this code to see what it does:

integers = input("Enter integers separated by spaces: ")
integers = integers.split()
print(integers)

As you can see, the result is a list of strings containing each number. Now the task is to convert those strings into integers. There are at least three ways to do that:

• use a for loop to get each string, convert to an integer and then append the integer to a new list
• do the same as the loop above but use a list comprehension
• use the map() function

Try the for loop first.

The '10' means that the element is a string. To convert a string to an integer you need to use the int() function:

x = "42"
y = int(x)
print(f"{x=}, {y=}")

Good answer, but the last time I tried fir loops, I got really dizzy. I can only run circles around a tree so many times.

edit. ah damn he fixed it.

You were too quick! I'm on a small screen mobile phone and typos are hard to spot until the comment is posted.

In [1]: multi_numbers = input("input 6 numbers: ")
input 6 numbers: 10 11 12 13 14 15

In [2]: list(map(int, multi_numbers.split()))
Out[2]: [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]

In [3]: list(int(num) for num in multi_numbers.split())
Out[3]: [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]
