How to count the number of letters in a string without the spaces?

Question

This is my solution resulting in an error. Returns 0

PS: I\'d still love a fix to my code :)

from collections import Counter
import          


        

Answer 1

def count_letter(string):
    count = 0
    for i in range(len(string)):
        if string[i].isalpha():
            count += 1
    return count


print(count_letter('The grey old fox is an idiot.'))
