file = open("/usercode/files/books.txt","r").readlines() for line in file: line = line.rstrip("\n") print(line[0] + str(len(line)))

A simpler way with 5 lines of code. A simple explanation, loop through all lines, and if a line has trailing/ending "\n" remove it from the count of the length. https://code.sololearn.com/cdaPdMWWeN3W/?ref=app

Mustafa Thaer , you have to keep in mind that thereā€™s a special condition for the last book of the list, which is that it has no newline ā€œ/nā€ character unlike the rest of the books. So you have to take that into account, every single book will have an extra countable character (newline or ā€œ/nā€) except for the last one. My suggestion to you is to insert an if/else statement to address that. Good luck!

Hi, Mustafa Thaer. Did you manage to solve it? In the instructions, they mention something important: all the lines have this special character '\n' except the last. If only there was a way to count the length of a line without counting a specific character... šŸ˜ Did you know it is possible to remove the white spaces of a string with a certain method? Maybe that works with other characters, too. I hope that helps.
