akshay atugade Because of the comma in the print statement. You need to convert len into string using str() line[0] + str(len(line)-1)

file = open("/usercode/files/books.txt", "r") #your code goes here for line in file: print(line[0],(len(line)-1)) file.close()

visph For you to count chars excluding an eventual newline, I recommend rstrip: n = len(line.rstrip())

akshay atugade Which error? Unfortunately I can't find the challenge but I am sure that I solved it this way. Would be fine if you can share the challenge link.

akshay atugade each lines ends with a new line char except the last one, and you are requested to output first letter followed by full title length (excluding the last new line char)... file = open("/usercode/files/books.txt", "r") for line in file: n = len(line)-str(line[-1]=="\n") print(line[0]+str(n)) file.close()

Emerson Prado there are a lot of ways to reach the same result: here I used what seems to be known by OP, not what I would have do ^^
