Python code count letters for loop -

write function countletter() should have 'for' loop steps through list below , prints name of city , number of letters in city's name. may use len() function.

citylist = ["kentucky","new york","la", "toronto",  "boston","district of columbia"] 

i using python 3.5 in spyder. having trouble extracting letters list , having them print out within loop.

what have:

def countletter(citylist):         city = len(citylist)          ct = 0     in citylist:        city = (ne[i]) 

and stuck. fear may entirely wrong. struggling on how print this.

the output should be:

kentucky has 8 letters.

new york has 12 letters.

la has 2 letters.

toronto has 7 letters.

boston has 6 letters.

district of columbia has 20 letters.

thank help!

you don't need use indices. iterate citylist; for loop yield each city.

def countletter(citylist):     city in citylist:         n = len(city)         print(city, 'has', n, 'letters.')   citylist = ["kentucky","new york","la", "toronto", "boston","district of columbia"] countletter(citylist) 

output:

kentucky has 8 letters. new york has 8 letters. la has 2 letters. toronto has 7 letters. boston has 6 letters. district of columbia has 20 letters.
