How to get size of a list in python?

Question

I have a list and have added some objects to it. But I am not able to find any method(using the dot(.) operator) that could return the length of the created list. I have created the list like below.

employee = ["name", 25, "company", 120000]

Now how do i get the length of this list called 'employees'?

Answer 1

In python list has no method to find the length. Rather we use general method len() available to find length of vaious types.

# Lenth of list
x = ["name", 25, "company", 120000]
print(len(x))
# Lenth of String
y = "names"
print(len(y))
# Lenth of tuple
z = ("name", 25, "company", 120000, 46578, "test")
print(len(z))

output of above program is -

4
5
6
