>>> a = "this is a string"

>>> a = a.split(" ") # a is converted to a list of strings. 

>>> print a

['this', 'is', 'a', 'string']

Joining a string is simple:

>>> a = "-".join(a)

>>> print a

this-is-a-string

def split_and_join(line): # write your code here line=line.split() line="-".join(line) return line if __name__ == '__main__': line = input() result = split_and_join(line) print(result)
