Examples :

  Input:  geeks  Output:  [`g`,` e`, `e` , `k`,` s`]  Input:  Word  Output:  [`W`,` o`, `r`,` d`] 

Code # 1: Using a For Loop

This approach uses a loop to convert each character to a list. Simply enclosing the For loop in square brackets [] will split the characters of the word into a list.

# Python3 program for splitting a string into characters def split (word): return [char for char in word]     # Driver code word = `geeks` print ( split (word))

Exit:

 [`g`,` e`, `e`,` k`, `s`] 

Code # 2: coercion to a list
Python provides direct typing of a string into a list using list () .

# Python3 program for splitting a string into characters def split (word): return list (word)   # Driver code word = `geeks` print (split (word))

Exit :

 [`g`,` e`, `e`,` k`, `s` ]
