Splitting a line up into 2 different strings

Question

So I have a file where a bunch of coordinates are in. But one x has its y value in the same line just seperated by a space. How do I split each line into two seperated pieces up so that I get the y and the x coord seperate(eg in a strig array)? Coordinate example:

934 100

Answer 1

Simply use line.split() for each string line.

It also works on lines with more than two coordinates.

Examples:

• line = "934 100", x, y = line.split(), print(x,y) = 934 100

• line = "1 61 298 3333 ", a, b, c, d = line.split(), print(a,b,c,d) = 1 61 298 3333
