How to use str.split() in Pandas

To use the str.split() method in Pandas, you can use the str attribute of a Pandas series, followed by the split() method.

This method allows you to split each string in the series into a list of substrings, based on a specified separator.

Example

Here's an example of using the str.split() method in Pandas:

import pandas as pd

# create a sample series
s = pd.Series(["apple, banana, orange, pear"])

# split each string in the series into a list of substrings
# using the comma character as the separator
s_split = s.str.split(",")

# display the result
print(s_split)

This will split each string in the series into a list of substrings, using the comma character as the separator. The resulting list of substrings will be displayed to the console.

The output will be:

0    [apple,  banana,  orange,  pear]
dtype: object

Conclusion

The str.split() method is a convenient way to split a string into a list of substrings.

It allows you to easily split each string in a Pandas series into a list of substrings, using a specified separator.

This can be useful for working with the data in the substrings.
