Split numbers in multiple ranges

Given the following problem,

Input
lis = ['0-10,000, 10,001-11,000, 11,001-12,000']

Output:
['0-10,000','10,001-11,000', '11,001-12,000']

Create a function such that, it should avoid if there's a single range in the list but split the ranges if there are multiple ranges in the list.

Can anybody help me with this problem, I can't even think of any method.

Solution

  • First build a string from the list of elements, then split the string with the specified ", ".

    lis = ['0-10,000, 10,001-11,000, 11,001-12,000']

print(''.join(lis).split(", "))
