compare your code with this one👆🏻

Answer 2

file = open("/usercode/files/books.txt","r").readlines()
for line in file:
line = line.rstrip("\n")
print(line[0] + str(len(line)))

Answer 3

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 4

Mustafa Thaer , you have to keep in mind that there’s a special condition for the last book of the list, which is that it has no newline “/n” character unlike the rest of the books. So you have to take that into account, every single book will have an extra countable character (newline or “/n”) except for the last one. My suggestion to you is to insert an if/else statement to address that. Good luck!

Answer 5

Simba its only 6 lines 2 of them are given for open and close file the code runs and my result and the expectid result are the exact same .. is it ok to show you my answer??

this is my solution

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

for line in file:
nums= list(line)
x=len(nums)-1
print(line[0]+str(x))
file.close()

Ren thank you , can you explain why it worked while my code did'nt? Im cunfused really

Answer 8

Hi, Mustafa Thaer. Did you manage to solve it? In the instructions, they mention something important: all the lines have this special character '\n' except the last. If only there was a way to count the length of a line without counting a specific character... 😁 Did you know it is possible to remove the white spaces of a string with a certain method? Maybe that works with other characters, too. I hope that helps.
