Help me understand...

[Norm]

I'm learning this slowly...

As I read the syntax of using split it says this in IDLE.
s.split(sep [,maxsplit]]) -> list of strings

Now what I misunderstood out of this was that I should use [brackets] and a
,comma such as this.

s.split([n ,[3]]) - which of course didn't work.

After 30 tries I got this to work
s.split("n",3) - how come the quotes weren't in the help?

What is the darn rules for reading help/man/info/syntax in Python?

Thanks
Norm
