lenghth

The simplest way would be to ask Python what the length of that list is using the list command.

my_list = [1, 2, 3]
print(len(my_list))

This will set your list to the variable my_list, then it will simply print out the length of your list, which is 3.

Hey,

Here is how I would do it.

For example:

# Example 1 ok but not great!
my_list = [1,2,3]
x = 0
for y in my_list:
  x += x

#OR

# Example 2 is much better

my_list = [1,2,3]
x = len(my_list)

If I print or return x. If I do that, I see that it's 3. Which is the number of items in my list.

Does this help answer your quesiton? Let me know by liking the answer or if not, than let me know why and I can see what I can do. Thanks!

Use the len() function You can search for len here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#len

At the command line, you can just try len([1,2,3]) and it should return 3.
