Hi,
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
x = 'Saad is a boy'
def main(x):
a = []
b = x.split(' ')
for item in b:
a.append(item)
print a
if __name__ == '__main__':
x = sys.argv[1]
main(x)
How can I make this program run with the default value of x if I don't
specify an argument at the command line?
It should do this:
saad@saad:~$ python test.py "Mariam is a girl"
['Mariam', 'is', 'a', 'girl']
saad@saad:~$ python test.py
['Saad', 'is', 'a', 'boy']
But the simply running "test.py" gives:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "input_test.py", line 13, in <module>
x = sys.argv[1]
IndexError: list index out of range
Saad
