Resolved: len() function arguments
Why len('s') works but len(2) not?
Does len() function takes only strings?

Hi Meenakshi!
Thanks for reaching out!
The len() function in Python is designed to return the length of an object that has a length. This typically includes data types like strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries, and other iterable objects. When you use len('s'), it works because 's' is a string with a length of 1. However, len(2) does not work because integers do not have a length. The len() function cannot be applied to integers or other non-iterable objects as they do not have a length.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Ivan
