Looking up .split()

How do you look up .split() using the help function in the console/workspace. Ive been keying in help(split), or help(.split), or help(.split()), and I keep getting a name error.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Reign,

This should do it: help(str.split). The reason for that is because split() is a string method.

Hope this helps!
