Is it right that this prints "1"?:

val tags = "".split(" ")
println(tags.size) //prints 1

[Johann Pardanaud]

you ask to split a string with a separator that is not contained within the string, so the split method simply returns the same string, non-splitted

it doesn’t matter if you’re doing this on an empty string or not

val tags = "".split(" ")
println(tags.size) //prints 1

val tags = "test".split(" ")
println(tags.size) //prints 1
