your_own_split.py

'''
Your task is to write your own function, which behaves almost exactly like the original split() method, i.e.:

- it should accept exactly one argument - a string;
- it should return a list of words created from the string, divided in the places where the string contains whitespaces;
- if the string is empty, the function should return an empty list;
its name should be mysplit()

Use the given template. Test your code carefully.

def mysplit(strng):
   #
   # put your code here
   #


print(mysplit("To be or not to be, that is the question"))
print(mysplit("To be or not to be,that is the question"))
print(mysplit("   "))
print(mysplit(" abc "))
print(mysplit(""))
    
Expected Output:
['To', 'be', 'or', 'not', 'to', 'be,', 'that', 'is', 'the', 'question']
['To', 'be', 'or', 'not', 'to', 'be,that', 'is', 'the', 'question']
[]
['abc']
[]
