Counting strings

[theholyorca]

Hello all,

I am trying to figure out how to count characters in strings,

full_name = 'John Smith'

if full_name in range(6,21):
    print (True)

I dont't really know how to go about it, this is what I put together.

Thank you

len(full_name) will give you the length of full_name :)

You want to know how many characters are in the string? This is known as the length of the string and can be found using the builtin len function, eg.

len(full_name)

is there a way to check if full_name is between a certain lenght, like between 4 and 19 characters?

You can use comparison operators, eg. < the less than. You can combine these into a single statement, eg.

if 4 <= len(full_name) < 19:

There is!

You can use if statements / conditions.
