[split] question about list comprehension

[Clunk_Head]

Thanks for your reply what bothers me most about this code is line 7 this part y = [i for i in input ('give me a number:') i know this is list comprehensions but i don't understand it how this line of code number 7 works ??

[i for i in input('give me a number: ').split(',')]

number_string = input('give me a number: ') # "1, 2, 3"
numbers = number_string.split(',')          #[1, 2, 3]

It's really overkill

input('give me a number: ').split(',')

Is functionally equivalent
