splitlines(num=string.count('\n'))

splitlines 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.

splitlines(num=string.count('\n')) — output: ['Asha', 'Pune'].

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

Exam tip

Call splitlines on one real word and say what prints.

Example

# splitlines(num=string.count('\n'))
print("Asha\nPune".splitlines())

splitlines(num=string.count('\n')) — output: ['Asha', 'Pune'].

Short notes

Defsplitlines works on str.
Rulesplitlines usually returns a new string.
Trapsplitlines does not change the original string in place.
