Python: Convert a string to a list
Python List: Exercise - 56 with Solution
Convert String to List
Write a Python program to convert a string to a list.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
# Import the 'ast' module, which provides a safe way to evaluate Python literals
import ast
# Define a string 'color' containing a Python list as a string
color = "['Red', 'Green', 'White']"
# Use the 'ast.literal_eval' function to safely evaluate the string as a Python literal expression
# This function ensures that the string is treated as a valid Python literal, in this case, a list
# Print the result, which is the actual list created from the string
print(ast.literal_eval(color))
Sample Output:
['Red', 'Green', 'White']
