.rpartition()
The rpartition() method is a string method that is used to split a string into three parts based on a specified separator. It searches for the last occurrence of the specified separator in the string and divides the string into three parts: the part before the separator, the separator itself, and the part after the separator. The method returns a tuple containing these three parts.
Syntax
str.rpartition(separator)
str: This is the string on which to apply the.rpartition()method.separator: The character(s) used to split the string.
Example 1
In this example, the .rpartition() method splits the string text based on the last occurrence of a comma (',').
text = "apple,orange,banana"result = text.rpartition(',')print(result)
This results in the following output:
('apple,orange', ',', 'banana')
Example 2
When specified separator is not found, .rpartition() returns tuple containing: (1) an empty string, (2) an empty string, and (3) the given string.
text = "example"result = text.rpartition('word')print(result)
This results in the following output:
('', '', 'example')
