Introduction:

In this tutorial, we are going to explain how to use Python string length function with basic syntax and many examples for better understanding.

Python string length / len() function is used to calculate the length of string, len () function is used. It returns a total length of string value, which is equal to the number of characters in the string.

Syntax:

len(string_variable_name)

Input Parameters:

• string_variable_name : the string name which need to get the length of element inside.

Example

alphabet='abcdef'
# length of string
print('length of string:',len(alphabet))

Output

length of string: 6

In the above Example, string variable ‘alphabet’ has six characters so its length is 6 which we got by len(alphabet), so output is “6”.
