how to split string and convert to integer

Question

numbers = "51-52"
for st in numbers:
    part = st.split("-")
    print(part)

this is my code so far.

My results:['5']['1']['', '']['5']['2']

Expected:['51']['52']

Your code and your result do not match. It must be `numbers = "51-52" ` to get your output. — Maximilian Peters, May 29 '16 at 22:03
Do you realize that your expected result is not a valid Python value? Do you want that expected to just be printed, or did you mean something like `['51', '52]`? — Rory Daulton, May 29 '16 at 22:05

numbers = "51-52"
part = [int(x) for x in numbers.split("-")]
print(part)

although more useful, the original question wants a list of string. – Maximilian Peters May 29 '16 at 22:04

because it should be just:

numbers = "51-52"
print numbers.split("-")

for st in numbers will iterate through each character in the string, so you end up with each character separate in the resulting set. Leave that out and simply

numbers = "51-52"
parts = numbers.split("-")
print(parts)
