Python String : partition()


This article demonstrates how to use of partition() method in string.

The partition() method splits the string at the first occurrence of the argument string and returns a tuple containing the part the before separator, argument string and the part after the separator.


Syntax :

string.partition(separator)


Parameter Values :

The partition() method takes a string parameter separator that separates the string at the first occurrence of it.


Returns :

The partition method returns a 3-tuple containing:
  • the part before the separator, separator parameter, and the part after the separator if the separator parameter is found in the string
  • string itself and two empty strings if the separator parameter is not found



Sample Code :

string = "cppsecrets is a good company"

# 'is' separator is found
print(string.partition('is '))

# 'not' separator is not found
print(string.partition('not '))

string = "Python is fun, isn't it"

# splits at first occurence of 'is'
print(string.partition('is'))

Output :
('cppsecrets ', 'is ', 'a good company') 
('cppsecrets is a good company', '', '')
('Python ', 'is', " fun, isn't it")


Hence,we can see above that the partition() function split the string at the first occurrence of sep, and return a 3-tuple containing the part before the separator, the separator itself, and the part after the separator. If the separator is not found, return a 3-tuple containing the string itself, followed by two empty strings .
