Book Titles Question

Question

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my code? I only have errors on the last part in which it should print G18 instead of G17

file = open("/usercode/files/books.txt", "r")

mylist =[]
i=0
for word in file:
mylist.append(word)
first_letter = mylist[i][0]
no_char = str(len(mylist[i])-1)
i+=1
file.close()

Answer 1

last line doesn't have a newline character

Answer 14

A simpler way with 5 lines of code.

A simple explanation, loop through all lines, and if a line has trailing/ending "\n" remove it from the count of the length.

Answer 15

Fixed it.

file = open("/usercode/files/books.txt", "r")

mylist =[]
i=0
for word in file:
mylist.append(word)

for x in mylist:
first_letter = mylist[i][0]
if i + 1 == len(mylist):
no_char = str(len(mylist[i]))
else:
no_char = str(len(mylist[i])-1)
print(first_letter+no_char)
i+=1
file.close()
