Hi Adam,
In the previous email, I forgot to mention that I have
already tried:
i = 0
while i < len(list1):
print list1[i], len(list1[i])
i += 1
However, I got:
soam! 5
1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "list1.py", line 11, in ?
print list1[i], len(list1[i])
TypeError: len() of unsized object
Could I hear from you again?
Hoffmann
