Often, we’ll need to find the number of items in a list, usually called its length.
We can do this using a built-in function called len().
When we apply len() to a list, we get the number of elements in that list:
Would output:
Let’s find the length of various lists!
Instructions
Calculate the length of long_list and save it to the variable long_list_len.
Use print() to examine long_list_len.
We have provided a completed range() function for the variable big_range.
Calculate its length using the function len() and save it to a variable called big_range_length.
Note: Range objects do not need to be converted to lists in order to determine their length
Use print() to examine big_range_length.
Change the range() function that generates big_range so that it skips 100 instead of 10 steps between items.
How does this change big_range_length?
