print(myarray)

Code explanation

  • Line 1: We import the numpy module.
  • Line 4: We create an array of strings, a, using the array() function.
  • Line 6: We implement the char.rsplit() function on the array a and assign the result to a variable called myarray.
  • Line 8: We print the array myarray.
