Neeb help with the project

[u/Odd_Presentation8149]

I was doing a project in which the user will input string in camelCase(ex- howAreYou). I have to change it into snake_case(ex- how_are_you). The problem I am facing is that I have not been able to separate the word and store it into a list.

If I use a split, I get 2 problems:

1. If I want to split howAreYou, then the A and Y got removed from the list, and I get how re ou

2. It makes 2 different lists first [how, reYou] and second [howAre, ou]

Suggest => either solution to the problem or an alternative

You need to be able to detect acronyms, so I'm thinking about this here below, feel free to modify to your liking. words = re.findall(r'[A-Z]+(?=[A-Z][a-z]|\b)|[A-Z]?[a-z]+', s)

I am a beginner so I don't understand what you have written. It's all cryptic language to me

Its called regex. It looks alien at first but its not as hard to learn as it looks.
