Hi. I want to learn how to "break down" a string into its component words, and then process each word somehow.
Is there a way in Python to separate a string into its component words. Like this: "I would like to convert an English string (sentence) into Pig Latin." The Pig Latin conversion I think I can handle already (if not, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.) However, what I want help on is how to make each word of the string a separate value, or at least make it able to index the string by word, as opposed to the standard method of strings being indexed by character. -- "Computers were the first God-Satan collaboration project."
