Using the "split" string method from the preceding lesson, complete the get_word function to return the {n}th word from a passed sentence. For example, get_word ("This is a lesson about lists", 4) should return "lesson", which is the 4th word in this sentence. Hint: remember that list indexes start at 0, not 1.

def get_word (sentence, n):

# Only proceed if n is positive

if n > 0:

words = ___

# Only proceed if n is not more than the number of words

if n < = len (words):

return (___)

return ("")

print (get_word ("This is a lesson about lists", 4)) # Should print: lesson

print (get_word ("This is a lesson about lists", - 4)) # Nothing

print (get_word ("Now we are cooking!", 1)) # Should print: Now

print (get_word ("Now we are cooking!", 5)) # Nothing
