Question

Please do not use string methods except to count method!

get_nth_word_from_string(s, n): This function takes a string s and a non-negative integer n as
input. The string s may contain substrings of text separated by commas. The function should
return the n'th comma-separated substring. We will start counting at 0, so if n=0, then the first
substring should be returned (i.e., everything before the first comma, if there is such a comma); if
n=1, then the second substring should be returned (i.e., everything between the first comma and
second comma, if there is such a comma); and so on. If there is no n'th substring in s, then the
empty string should be returned. Note: You may use the string count method in this function.
Note: If a space follows a comma, do not include the space as part of the substring to be returned.
