How do I determine the number of elements in a list in Python?
You can do this using Python’s built-in len()
function. For example:
products = ["Apples", "Oranges", "Pears"] product_count = len(products) print(product_count) # will output "3"
The len()
function works by calling the provided object’s __len__()
method. The len()
function works with other iterable data types in Python as well, such as strings, tuples, and sets.
