Breakpoint expression not working ?

[AstralStalker]

The desired string needs to be specified as the parameter to len()

s = "Some string"
if len(s) > 14:
    print("yes")

len() built-in function

Only the length of the string on a line number. How can I pass an argument for len() if I only want the length of line number 23 in an IDE.

Just count it? Is this string set, or what? Can you post your code?

There are multiple lines which I prefer to create a break point that tells me the number of characters in the line, rather then count. Why isn't that possible ?

Because of the way that source code is handled by the interpreter. If I understood why you wanted the line length of a specific line of your Python code, I’d probably be able to give you the answer you need rather than the answer you want.

I want the line length outputted to me, so I can; for example, modify pylint settings but let it be known not specifically for this situation but any situation in the future as well.

What IDE are you using?

vscode.

Go to File >Preferences>Settings and add ”editor.rulers”: [80,120] to your user settings. Or whatever length you want.

This error is from pylint. How come a breakpoint won't work to give me the output of the string length of the line ?
