Trouble with map

Question

I want to convert the values of a list using the map function but i am getting a strange result.

s = input("input some numbers: ")
i = map(int, s.split())
print(i)
gives:

input some numbers: 4 58 6
<map object at 0x00000000031AE7B8>
 

why does it not return ['4','58','6']? How do I fix this?

Answer 1

You are using python 3 which returns generators instead of lists.

Call list(x) on the variable after you assign it the map generator.
