Need output in string type

Question

I have the input s of string. I want to print string s in which all the occurrences of WUB are replaced with a white space.

s = input()
    print(s.split("WUB"))

Input : WUBWEWUBAREWUBWUBTHEWUBCHAMPIONSWUBMYWUBFRIENDWUB

but the output I am getting is like this : ['', 'WE', 'ARE', '', 'THE', 'CHAMPIONS', 'MY', 'FRIEND', '']

instead I need output in string format, like this : WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS MY FRIEND

You can join the strings in the list produced by split with a space:

print(" ".join(s.split("WUB")))

You can also just use replace instead of split + join:

print(s.replace("WUB", " "))

which of the two method join or replace is faster and space efficient?

replace is better since it's built for this purpose, and it's also faster because it iterates only one time.

You can apply the input in the print statement like this

s = input()
    print(*s.split("WUB"))

Notice * before s.split("WUB") this gives the desired output.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS MY FRIEND

Just join all elements from your list. See it below:

print(" ".join("WUBWEWUBAREWUBWUBTHEWUBCHAMPIONSWUBMYWUBFRIENDWUB".split("WUB")).strip())
