Answer 1

Kim Hammar-Milliner
That is because the last line of the file has no trailing new line or "\n".

You can use line.strip() to remove the "\n" then use len function (without -1).

Or another method is to use if-else condition, if "\n" is at the end of the line, get the lenght subtracted by 1, otherwise just get the length.

Answer 2

my code

file = open("/usercode/files/books.txt", "r")

for line in file:
nums= list(line)
x=len(nums)-1
print(line[0]+str(x))
file.close()

all the test cases fails
