[Tutor] how to calculate execution time and complexity

[Abhishek Pratap]

Hi Praveen

I am still new to the language  but here is what I would do. Sorry I can't
comment on how to best check for efficiency.

my_str='google'
split_by= 2
[ my_str[i:i+split_by]  for i in range(0, len(my_str), split_by) ]

Just using a list comprehension.

best,
-Abhi
