Counting number of digits of input using python

Question

I am trying to count the number of digits of an input. However, whenever I input 10 or 11 or any two digit number, the output is 325.

Answer 1

I would not convert that beautiful input to int to be honest.

print(len(input())

would be sufficient.

An easily understandable one liner that no one can complain about.

• But of course, if negative sign bothers you like wisty said,

  len(str(abs(int (v))))
  

  will be safer for sure.

• Again, if you are worried about the non numeric inputs like mulliganaceous said, you better cover that case.

  str = input()
  if str.isnumeric():
      print(len(str(abs(v))))
  else:
      print("bad input")
