Hello, my name is Tim. I'm a lead at Google with over 30 years coding experience and I need to look up how to get length of a python string.

you don't know if its s.length, length(s), s.len or len(s) (or something eles??).. becaues python is designed by a fucking returd.

in scheme it's (string-length s) and it's never difficult to remember.

I haven't programmed anything in Python in years but I'm still fairly certain it's len(s)

What kind of argument is that?

Wow, we posted at the exact same time. We must be connected somehow.

s.__len__() is also fine

python is a bad language

Actually keeping the #Current_Lang in memory replaces productive algorithms with useless trivia, which is easily googleable.
He is saving his brain memory space for things that matter.

In Javascript it's s.length and it's never difficult to remember.

You either have 1 day of Python string-manipulation experience or 30 years of asking-others-to-do-it-for-you experience.

a lead

...probably the latter.

Bullshit.

he wouldn't be wrong if he mentioned some different, less universal API function. len() is extremely common in Python - both because string manipulation is common task and because this function is used not just for strings but also for many different data structures. I don't remember names of most of the date/time manipulation functions but len() is the second thing that comes to mind when I think about FIOC standard library functions (first is print()).

smh fam switching between s.length in javascript and s.length() in sepples i get a compiler error every time vector.size() also fucks me up bro

len() is the correct answer, what else you need

Do you have non anecdotal evidence?
