[Py] How to input a list into sololearn's compiler ?

say I have a code that deals with lists and I want to feed a list to the input() function, is there any way to achieve this ? I tried with commas and spaces but it didn't work edit : my code now works ! https://code.sololearn.com/cLPf8NvJ2z6z/?ref=app

The input() always returns a string, so do the following: st = input() # expect separation with spaces lis = st.split(“ “) # lis is a list of strings nums = [float(n) for n in lis] # nums is a list of floats

Yup, there is a rather simple solution: a = input().split() 'a' is now an array with each word (string separated by spaces) of the input as a separate value. Alternatively you could try something like this: a = input().split(', ') This splits the input at every comma and space rather than spaces.

neat, thank you :) (of course it would have to do with list methods ^^)
