splitlines only returns first list item?

Im trying to use x.splitlines() to separate a three line input into three separate pieces of data to work with individually. However for some reason im only getting the first line, instead of a list of each line. Why is this? x=input() in_list=x.splitlines() print(in_list)

Randy Ziegler , how are you doing a "3 line input" with one input() call? May be you can give an example? Thanks!

Randy Ziegler here is an example of splitline() and split() https://code.sololearn.com/cT7CrAQbk7gy/?ref=app

Randy Ziegler , the task description means that you have to do 3 inputs. Sample used is: 'Eric' 2 'Adam Caroline Rebecca Frank' - the first input can be taken as it is - the second input has to be converted to an int (as input returns everything as string) - the third input is a space separated string. this has to be splitted at the spaces For the last task you can just use split(' '), this results in a list with 4 elements

ahhhh, you must be doing this here in SoloLearn. Multiline input counts as multiple inputs being gathered here. Your code accepts one input, so the rest are forgotten

Lothar its the 'new driver's license' code coach, it says the input is a string, an integer, and another string and I took it to mean a single input of all three that you are responsible for separating
