[CheckIO] Solve split list

Problem: py.checkio.org/en/mission/split-list/

My solution

def split_list(items: list) -> list:
    # your code here
    length = len(items)
    if length % 2 == 0: return [items[:length//2],items[length//2:]]
    else: return [items[:length//2+1],items[length//2+1:]]


if __name__ == '__main__':
    print("Example:")
    print(split_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]))

    # These "asserts" are used for self-checking and not for an auto-testing
    assert split_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]) == [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
    assert split_list([1, 2, 3]) == [[1, 2], [3]]
    assert split_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) == [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5]]
    assert split_list([1]) == [[1], []]
    assert split_list([]) == [[], []]
    print("Coding complete? Click 'Check' to earn cool rewards!")

 

A good solution that I see

def split_list(items: list) -> list:
    return [items[:(split_index := (len(items) + 1) // 2)], items[split_index:]]
