To get the length/size of a list in Python, we can simply use the built-in len()
function like so:
list = [] list.append('foo') list.append('bar') list.append('baz') print(len(list)) # output: 3
The len()
function takes an object as an argument and returns the total number of items (i.e. the length of the object). It has the following syntax:
len(object)
Since a list in Python is an object, the len()
function works for it and returns the total number of items in the list.
