Here's what the code does: 1. **`unit_split = address.split( )[0].strip()`** ...

Here's what the code does:

1. unit_split = address.split( )[0].strip()

   • Splits the address string into a list of words/parts at spaces (' '), and then selects the first element ([0]).
   • Strips any extra whitespace (although unnecessary here because .split() removes extra spaces around the split elements).
   • Result: unit_split will hold the value "123".

2. street_address = address.split( )[1].strip()

   • Splits the address string by spaces and selects the second element ([1]).
   • Strips whitespace.
   • Result: street_address will hold the value "anystreet".

3. city_split = address.split(',')[0].strip()

   • Splits the address string at the comma (,) into a list of two parts: everything before the comma and everything after.
   • Selects the first part ([0]) and removes extra whitespace.
   • Result: city_split will hold "123 anystreet" (everything before the comma in the address).

4. state_split = address.split(' ')[-2].strip()

   • Splits the address string at spaces and selects the second-to-last element ([-2]), which is the state abbreviation.
   • Strips whitespace.
   • Result: state_split will hold "AA".

5. zip_split = address.split(' ')[-1].strip()

   • Splits the address string at spaces and selects the last element ([-1]), which is the ZIP code.
   • Strips whitespace.
   • Result: zip_split will hold "12345".

Summary of Outputs:

For the address "123 anystreet, town AA 12345":

• unit_split = "123"
• street_address = "anystreet"
• city_split = "123 anystreet"
• state_split = "AA"
• zip_split = "12345"

Potential Issues

This code assumes consistent formatting of the address; issues may arise if formatting varies (e.g., if the address string has multiple spaces, no comma, a different structure, etc.).
