Below is a very long string called "arr", which contains many names in last,first order. These names were taken from a randomized list of Stuyvesant students' first names, matched randomly with last names.
You'll be using the .split('\n') method to separate this string into lines, and you'll also need to use .split(',') to separate the names from each other in each line.
Answer the following questions and put them into the Comments-to-Teacher, labelling what each number or result means (e.g. "497 names" or "longest last name: 34 chars")...
1) How many names are there in the list (how many lines in the string)?
2) How long is the longest first name? What is the longest first name?
3) What is the list of the second-longest first names?
4) How long is the longest last name?
5) Challenge: Suppose you are looking at this list for the first time. Calculate the length of the second longest last name, but you are only allowed to read through the list once to find the answer.
Copy the following code lines directly into Thonny:
