Python Program to Count Total Characters in a String

In this article, we will show you, How to write a Python program to Count Total Characters in a String using For Loop, and While Loop with practical example.

TIP: Please refer String article to understand everything about Strings.

Python Program to Count Total Characters in a String Example 1

This python program allows the user to enter a string. Next, it will count total number of characters inside this string using For Loop.

Here, we used For Loop to iterate each and every character in a String. Inside the For Loop, we are incrementing the total value for each character.

# Python Program to Count Total Characters in a String
 
str1 = input("Please Enter your Own String : ")
total = 0
 
for i in str1:
    total = total + 1
 
print("Total Number of Characters in this String = ", total)

OUTPUT

Python Program to Count Total Characters in a String Example 2

This program is same as above example. However, we are using the For Loop with Range

# Python Program to Count Total Characters in a String
 
str1 = input("Please Enter your Own String : ")
total = 0
 
for i in range(len(str1)):
    total = total + 1
 
print("Total Number of Characters in this String = ", total)

OUTPUT

Python Program to Count Total Number of Characters in a String Example 3

This count characters program is same as above. However, we just replaced the For Loop with While Loop.

# Python Program to Count Total Characters in a String
 
str1 = input("Please Enter your Own String : ")
total = 0
i = 0

while(i < len(str1)):
    total = total + 1
    i = i + 1
 
print("Total Number of Characters in this String = ", total)
