len() function is an inbuilt function in Python that returns the length of the string.
Syntax:
len(string)
example:
list1, list2 = [12, 'mindstick', 'software'], [54, 'prakash']
print "First list length : ", len(list1)
print "Second list length : ", len(list2)
// Length of below string is 9.
string = "mindstick"
print(len(string))
Difference between raw_input() and input() functions in Python:
The function raw_input() presents a prompt to the user arg of raw_input([arg])) gets input from the
user and returns the data input by the user in a string.
name = raw_input("What is your name? ")
print "mindstick, %s" %nameThis differs from input() in that the latter tries to interpret the input given by the user; it is usually best to avoid input() and to stick with raw_input() and conversion code.
name = input("What is your name? ")
print("mindstick, %s." %name)name = eval(raw_input("what is your name?"))
what is your name?mindstick
