Parse a record for Student class using split method

Suppose that we have a record from file for the Student class defined earlier and we need to parse it.

Here is the example that do the parsing:

record_to_parse = "dmitri,telinov:python,nodejs,c++"

line = record_to_parse.split(":")
first_name, last_name = line[0].split(",")
courses = line[1].split(",")

print(first_name, last_name, courses)

Output:
dmitri telinov ['python', 'nodejs', 'c++']

The split() method splits a string into a list.
You can specify the separator, default separator is any whitespace.
