Finding the shortest string in a string of words in python

Question

I want to write a function that would return the length of the shortest string in a string of words. Sample: \"I eat apples\" would return 1 since \"I\" is the shorted string. T

Answer 1

line = "I eat apples"
mins = min(len(word) for word in line.split())
print(mins)

line.split() will split line into list of words and then just finding the minimum length
