# Using Python.. You can convert the string into list so as to make each character countable.. And use the len() function to obtain the length of the string; now in a list form, (number of chars in the string) afterwards... i.e. string = "abcdef" list(string) print(len(string))

String str = "afrinish"; System.out.print(str.length());

Let's use Python to help us. Python has an inbuilt sum function, to find the number of characters in a string or table. This would be (kind of) equivalent to C++/C#'s len function. alphabet = "abcdefg" sum(alphabet) || int num = alphabet.length(); You may want to revise on your language documentation - my knowledge has some inaccuracies... hope i helped. edit0 Well now I know I helped. Just remember that the length method can not be ran on non-string type objects, so... (excluding arrays - under differrent circumstances) intergers and floats; there's not much that it can't affect...

i tried your method ghostwalker13...it worked! import java.util.*; public class Program { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in); String ar= sc.next(); int num=ar.length(); System.out.print(num); } }
