Python | Convert string to N chunks

Method # 1: Using List Comprehension + Tuple
This is one approach in which this task can be accomplished. In this we just iterate over the String, break up the chunks of the string, and create a tuple using tuple () in one liner.

# Python3 demo code
# Convert string to N chunks
# Using comprehension list + tuple ()

# initialize string

test_string = "ggggffffgggg"

# print the original line

print ( "The original string:" + str (test_string) )

# initialize N

N = 4

# Convert string to N chunks
# Using comprehension list + tuple ()

res = tuple (test_string [i: i + N] for i in range ( 0 , len (test_string), N))

#result print at

print ( "Chunked String into tuple: " + str (res))

Output:

 The original string: ggggffffgggg Chunked String into tuple: ('gggg',' ffff', 'gggg')

Method # 2: Using zip () + iter () + join () + list comprehension
A combination of the above functions can also be used to accomplish this task. In this, we are going through the chunk creation process using zip () + iter (). And accumulate the result using join ().

Output:

 The original string: ggggffffgggg Chunked String into tuple: ('gggg',' ffff', 'gggg')
