Python内置函数len

len(s)

Return the length (the number of items) of an object. The argument may be a sequence (such as a string, bytes, tuple, list, or range) or a collection (such as a dictionary, set, or frozen set).

说明：

　1. 返回对象的长度，参数可以是序列(比如字符串、字节数组、元组、列表和range对象)，或者是集合(比如字典、集合、不可变集合)

>>> len('abcd') # 字符串
>>> len(bytes('abcd','utf-8')) # 字节数组
>>> len((1,2,3,4)) # 元组
>>> len([1,2,3,4]) # 列表
>>> len(range(1,5)) # range对象
>>> len({'a':1,'b':2,'c':3,'d':4}) # 字典
>>> len({'a','b','c','d'}) # 集合
>>> len(frozenset('abcd')) #不可变集合

　2. 如果参数为其它类型，则其必须实现__len__方法，并返回整数，否则报错。

>>> class A:
 def __init__(self,name):
 self.name = name
 def __len__(self):
 return len(self.name)

>>> a = A('')
>>> len(a)
>>> a = A('Aim')
>>> len(a)
>>> class B:
 pass

>>> b = B()
>>> len(b)
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "", line 1, in 
 len(b)
TypeError: object of type 'B' has no len()
>>> class C:
 def __len__(self):
 return 'len'

>>> c = C()
>>> len(c)
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "", line 1, in 
 len(c)
TypeError: 'str' object cannot be interpreted as an integer
