There are two methods to find the length of a string in Python.
To calculate the length of a string in Python, you can use the built-in len()
method.
It takes a string as a parameter and returns an integer as the length of that string. For example, len(“educative”)
will return 9 because there are 9 characters in “educative”.
If you don’t want to use the len()
method, you can calculate the length by iterating the string using a for-loop and incrementing a counter variable in every iteration. The following code shows how this is done:
counter = 0for c in "educative": # traverse the string “educative”counter+=1 #increment the counterprint (counter) # outputs the length (9) of the string “educative”
Here’s how this method works:
