Long Breakfast (Exercise)
00:00
Now that you’ve worked on such a yummy shopping list, I think it’s time for a long breakfast. Start by creating a list called breakfast from the string, “eggs, fruit, orange juice.” But there’s a space in between, which I guess is notable because you should create the list using the .split() method.
00:19
Okay? So you’ve got to think about what is the separating character or characters that you can identify in the string so that you can use .split() on the string to get a list that has these three elements in it.
00:33
And then the second task is to verify that the breakfast list actually has three items in it. And you can do that using the len() function.
00:41
And then finally, you should create a new list called lengths using a list comprehension that contains the length of each string in the breakfast list.
00:50
Okay, so you get to practice how to create a list from a string using the .split() method. Then also just check that you did it the right way, and then also write a list comprehension.
01:02 Sounds yummy too. All right, take your time. It’s a long breakfast. And then see you in the next lesson where you’ll see me solve it.
