Contrary to the partition string method, which starts searching for a specific value at the left of a string in order to partition it, the rpartition() string method is starts searching for a specific value at the right of the string in order to perform its partition.

If the searched value is found, the rpartition() method returns a tuple of three split values, where -

• The first value is the value before the occurrence of the searched value.
• The second value is the searched value itself.
• The third value is the value after the occurrence of the specific value.

Signature of rpartition() method

partition(value)

Parameters	Description
value	This is the value to be searched in the invoked string and on the basis of it a tuple of three values will be created, only if this value is found.

• An example of rpartition() method


In the upcoming code, we have a string object initialized to a value Let us rock and roll! and we are going to call the rpartition() method on it to perform the number of splits on the basis of searched value rock.

Note : The search using the rpartition() method begins at the right of invoked string.



# Python - Example of rpartition() method.



# Creating a string 
s1 = 'Do you like rock n rock or hard rock or jazz?'


# Printing the value of string 
print('String is : ', s1)


# Calling the rpartition() method on string
# which will perform the number of splits on the basis of searched value  i.e. rock
# searching starts at the right of the string
# and returns a tuple containing all the split values
a_tuple = s1.rpartition('rock')


# Priting all the split values 
print('A tuple of splits : ', a_tuple)





Output is :




String is :  Do you like rock n rock or hard rock or jazz?
A tuple of splits :  ('Do you like rock n rock or hard ', 'rock', ' or jazz?')





Program Analysis


In the above program, we have created a string object with value Let us rock and roll!. And on calling the rpartition() method, it has performed a number of splits on the basis of searched value rock(by starting searching from the right of the string) and has returned a tuple of three values.

• Method rpartition() is case-sensitive.


When searching for the occurrence of a value, the method rpartition() performs a case-sensitive search. Let us see an example.



# Python - Example of rpartition() method.



# Creating a string 
s1 = 'Do not just live, but LIVE your life!'


# Printing the value of string 
print('String is : ', s1)


# Calling the rpartition() method on string
# which will perform the number of splits on the basis of searched lower case value  i.e. l
# searching starts at the right of the string
# and returns a tuple containing all the split values
tuple1 = s1.partition('l')


# Priting all the split values 
print('A tuple split by l : ', tuple1)



# Calling the rpartition() method on string
# which will perform the number of splits on the basis of searched lower case value  i.e. e
# searching starts at the right of the string
# and returns a tuple containing all the split values
tuple1 = s1.rpartition('e')


# Priting all the split values 
print('A tuple split by e : ', tuple1)



# Calling the rpartition() method on string
# which will perform the number of splits on the basis of searched lower case value  i.e. live
# searching starts at the right of the string
# and returns a tuple containing all the split values
tuple3 = s1.rpartition('live')


# Priting all the split values 
print('A tuple split by live : ', tuple3)



# Calling the rpartition() method on string
# which will perform the number of splits on the basis of searched upper case value  i.e. LIVE
# searching starts at the right of the string
# and returns a tuple containing all the split values
tuple4 = s1.rpartition('LIVE')


# Priting all the split values 
print('A tuple split by LIVE : ', tuple4)





Output is :




String is :  Do not just live, but LIVE your life!
A tuple split by l :  ('Do not just ', 'l', 'ive, but LIVE your life!')
A tuple split by e :  ('Do not just live, but LIVE your lif', 'e', '!')
A tuple split by live :  ('Do not just ', 'live', ', but LIVE your life!')
A tuple split by LIVE :  ('Do not just live, but ', 'LIVE', ' your life!')








• The partition()method partitions at the first occurrence of the searched value.

Even when the value to be searched is having multiple occurrences within the invoked string, but the rpartition() method partitions the string only at the first occurrence of the searched value and the rest of occurrences of the searched value are ignored.

Note : The rpartition() method begins its search at the left of the invoked string. Let us see an example.

# Python - Example of rpartition() method.



# Creating a string 
s1 = 'Eddie edited a diary!'


# Printing the value of string 
print('String is : ', s1)


# Calling the rpartition() method on string
# which will perform the number of splits on the basis of searched value  i.e. di
# and returns a tuple containing all the split values
tuple1 = s1.rpartition('di')


# Priting all the split values 
print('A tuple split by di : ', tuple1)

Output is :

String is :  Eddie edited a diary!
A tuple split by di :  ('Eddie edited a ', 'di', 'ary!')

As you can see in the example, even though the string had 3 occurrences of the searched value ed but still the rpartition() method partitioned the string at the first occurrence of the searched value ed.

Note : Using the rpartition() search has begun from the left of the string.
