Splitting a list in half results in two smaller lists containing elements from the original in the same order. For example, splitting [1, 2, 3, 4] in half results in [1, 2] and [3, 4].
SPLIT THE LIST IN HALF
Call len(iterable) with iterable as a list to find its length.
Floor divide the length by 2 using the // operator to find the middle_index of the list.
Use the slicing syntax list[:middle_index] to get the first half of the list and list[middle_index:] to get the second half of the list.
print(a_list)OUTPUT
[1, 2, 3, 4]length = len(a_list)middle_index = length//2Floor division rounds down
first_half = a_list[:middle_index]Slice first half
print(first_half)OUTPUT
[1, 2]second_half = a_list[middle_index:]Slice second half
print(second_half)OUTPUT
[3, 4]
