split(str,num=string.count(str))

split is a string helper. You call it on text like "Asha" or "banana". It gives a new string (or a number/True-False). The old string does not change unless you assign the result back.

split(str,num=string.count(str)) — output: ['Asha', 'Pune'].

Fresher trap: writing s.split() and expecting s to update. Strings are immutable. Write s = s.split(...) if you need the new value (when it returns a string).

Exam tip

Call split on one real word and say what prints.

Example

# split(str,num=string.count(str))
print("Asha,Pune".split(","))

split(str,num=string.count(str)) — output: ['Asha', 'Pune'].

Short notes

Defsplit works on str.
Rulesplit usually returns a new string.
Trapsplit does not change the original string in place.
