Python string Method - splitlines()

The splitlines() method is a built-in string method in Python that splits a string into a list of substrings based on line breaks.

The syntax for using splitlines() method is as follows:

string.splitlines(keepends)

Here, string is the original string, and keepends is an optional parameter that specifies whether to include the line break characters in the resulting substrings. If keepends is True, the line break characters are included. If keepends is False (default), the line break characters are removed.

The method returns a list containing the resulting substrings.

Here's an example of using the splitlines() method:

string = "Hello\nWorld\n"
substrings = string.splitlines()
print(substrings)

Output:

['Hello', 'World']

In the example above, the splitlines() method was used to split the original string "Hello\nWorld\n" based on the line breaks. The resulting list is stored in the variable substrings, which contains the two substrings: "Hello" and "World". Note that the line break characters were removed by default. If you want to include the line break characters, you can set the keepends parameter to True.
