## Overview
**`rpartition()`** searches a `string` based on a specific match. If a match is found, the function will return a string containing the portion before the given match, the match itself, and the part following the match. This method requires a parameter, which is a `string`.



## Syntax
```ruby
str.rpartition(match);
```

## Parameters
**`str`**: The string that calls the `rpartition()` method. 

**`match`**: The match we want to find.

## Return value
The return value is a string that contains three strings. These three include the part before the `match`, the `match` string, and the part after the `match`. Two empty strings and `str` are returned if nothing is found.

## Code


# create a string
str = "Edpresso"

# call the `rpartition()` method
a = str.rpartition("p")
b = str.rpartition("s")
c = str.rpartition("a")  # no match

puts "#{a}"
puts "#{b}"
puts "#{c}"

## Explanation
* Line 2: We create a string `str`.
* Line 5: We use `"p"` as a match to partition the string we create.
* Line 6: We use `"b"` as a match to partition the string we create.
* Line 7: We used `"a"` to partition the string we create. 
>`"a"` is not found in the
 `str` string.

* Lines 9, 10, and 11: We print the results to the console. 

As we can see, all the partitions were returned except for line 11. Here, two empty strings and `str` were returned.

What is Ruby string.rpartition()?

`rpartition()` splits a string into three parts: before the match, the match itself, and after.
