Find the Size of a List in Python

A list in Python is a collection of primitive data type or object which is ordered and can be added or removed. We check the length of a list with the len() method.

len() is a function used to check the number of items in a list. It returns 0 if the list is empty.

my_list = []
len(my_list) #output: 0
odd_number_list = [1, 3, 5, 7]
len(odd_number_list) #output: 4

We often check the length of a list for iterating through it.

phones = ['Samsung', 'LG', 'Appel', 'Xiao Mi']
if len(phones) > 0:
    for phone in phones:
         print(phone)
