Find the length of built-in Sequences

A container having ordered objects is called a sequence. Python has three fundamental built-in sequences: lists, tuples, and strings. We can find the length of these objects by using Python len() Function. Let’s take some examples:

Code:

Python3




list1 = ['geeks','for','geeks',2022]
# printing length of list1
print(len(list1))
 
tuple1 = (1,2,3,4)
# printing length of tuple1
print(len(tuple1))
 
string1 = "w3wiki"
# printing length of string1
print(len(string1))


Output:

4
4
13

Python len() Function

Python len() function is an inbuilt function in Python. It can be used to find the length of an object. 

Python len() function Syntax:

len(Object)

Parameter:

  • Object: Object of which we have to find the length for example string, list, etc.

Returns: It returns the integer value which indicates the length of an object.

For example, we can find the total number of characters in a string using the Python len() Function. It can be used with different types of data types except some of them.

Example:

Input: "w3wiki"
Output: 13
Explanation: The input string contains 13 characters so output is 13.
