Python编程之求字符串长度

问题描述：写一个函数，求一个字符串的长度，在main函数中输入字符串，并输出其长度。

源代码：

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

if __name__ == '__main__':
    s = raw_input('please input a string:\n')
    print 'the string has %d characters.' % len(s)

输出结果如下：

please input a string:

the string has 3 characters.

please input a string:

the string has 5 characters.

please input a string:
abchgby
the string has 7 characters.
