The len() function can be used to find the length of an iterable object. For example: string_a = "I love Sololearn!" print(len(string_a)) dict_a = {'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3} print(len(dict_a)) list_a = [0,1,2,3,4] print(len(list_a)) tuple_a = ((0,1),(1,2),(3,4)) print(len(tuple_a)) You can use it for various things, like for dynamic input to set max, or min lengths for an iteration. Here is a short example: max = len(string_a) for character in range(0, max): print(string_a[character])

Do you mean the Len function? If so, simply insert a value : Len ("Hello") -This would print out: 5, as there are 5 letters in the word "Hello". The Len function gets the length of the assigned value.

If you do len() on a list: n = [1,2,3,10] print(len(n)) it will print 4 (number of elements)

since it is covered thuroughly, here is 1 more use.. myList=[1,2,3,4] for i in range(len(myList)): //do something that will run a for loop 4 times because the for list len is 4
