changed grammar from "If no value is provided
inside the parentheses, the split method chops up the list whenever it encounters
and whitespace (a space, a tab, or a newline)" to "If no value is provided
inside the parentheses, the split method chops up the list whenever it encounters
a whitespace (a space, a tab, or a newline)."
The "and" before "whitespace" was incorrect and made the sentence confusing.
