Is the "Book title" challenge from "python core" "Exceptions & Files" bugged?

I was told to provide the first letter of the book title and its length as its code. I first tried it, including whitespaces when providing length as its code but it didnt work then i tried it excluding whitespace only 2 solved. its very difficult to pick which book titles to be coded with whitespace or not maybe i m missing something any advice would be very helpful. """ #This the solution i presented file = open("/usercode/files/books.txt", "r") files=file.readlines() for i in files: bookcode=i[0]+(str(len(i.replace(" ","")))) print(bookcode) file.close() """ I apologise if i missed something.

readlines() will include the newline character '\n', that is at the end of all lines except the last line. Spaces should be counted in the length. I.E. "Harry Potter\n" Will be a length of 12 with the newline character removed. Otherwise, you'll get 13, which is incorrect.

As ChaoticDawg , already mentioned new lines will be included, so you might want to check whether this line contains new space.. Something like that: file = open("/usercode/files/books.txt", "r") #your code goes here for line in file: if line[-1] == "\n": print(line[0] + str(len(line)-1)) else: print(line[0] + str(len(line))) file.close()
