String length without len function

Question

Can anyone tell me how can I get the length of a string without using the len() function or any string methods. Please anyone tell me as I\'m tapping my head ma

Answer 1

a = 'malayalam'
length = 0
for i in a:
    if i == "":
        break
    else:
        length+=1

print length

This code verifies the length of a string by counting until ""(end of the string ).If the string reaches an end, the loop breaks and will return the final length of the string.
