The len function
The len function is the length of an iterable object in Python: it can be a string, list, dictionary, set, tuple. In the function parameter, we pass the object whose length we want to know.
Syntax
len(object)
Example
Let's find out the length of the string:
txt = 'abc'
print(len(txt))
Result of code execution:
3
Example
Let's find out the length of the list:
lst = ['ab', 'cd', 'ef']
print(len(lst))
Result of code execution:
3
Example
Let's find out the length of the dictionary:
dct = {
'a': 1,
'b': 2,
'c': 3
}
print(len(dct))
Result of code execution:

Example
Let's find out the length of the set:
st = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
print(len(st))
Result of code execution:
