Question

I want to write a function that would return the length of the shortest string in a string of words. Sample: \"I eat apples\" would return 1 since \"I\" is the shorted string. T

Answer 1

A function to estabilish the lenght of the smallest word in a text

def lenmin(text):
    return len(min(text.split()))

lenmin("I eat apples")

This will return 1

Using lambda

>>> lenmin = lambda t: len(min(t.split()))
>>> lenmin("you eat apples")
