How to Find the Length of the List in Python | Python Program

In this article, we will learn to find the length of the list using the python program.

We find the length of the list using two methods:

  1. Using loops 
  2. Using the len() function


Using loop

Explanation

  1. We make a variable count, that store the number of the elements present in the list.
  2. Then, we iterate the list and update the count by +1.
  3. And lastly, we print the length of the list.

Program

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
# list 
list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

# count variable to count the number of the elements present in the list
count = 0

# iterate the list
for i in list:
    # update the value of the count by +1
    count +=1

# print the length of the list
print("The length of the list is: ",count)

Output

The length of the list is:  9


Using len() function

Explanation

  1. By using len(name_of_list) function we easily find the length of the given list.
  2. And lastly, we print the length of the list.

Program

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
# list 
list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

# use len() function to find the length of the list
length = len(list)

# print the length of the list
print("The length of the list is: ",length)

Output

The length of the list is:  9
