对于子孙后代来说，这无疑是迄今为止解决这个问题最慢的方法:

def num_digits(num, number_of_calls=1):
    "Returns the number of digits of an integer num."
    if num == 0 or num == -1:
        return 1 if number_of_calls == 1 else 0
    else:
        return 1 + num_digits(num/10, number_of_calls+1)

不需要转换为字符串

import math
digits = int(math.log10(n))+1

也可以处理0和负数

import math
if n > 0:
    digits = int(math.log10(n))+1
elif n == 0:
    digits = 1
else:
    digits = int(math.log10(-n))+2 # +1 if you don't count the '-' 

你可能想把它放在一个函数中:)

以下是一些基准测试。len(str())对于非常小的数字已经落后了

timeit math.log10(2**8)
1000000 loops, best of 3: 746 ns per loop
timeit len(str(2**8))
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.1 µs per loop

timeit math.log10(2**100)
1000000 loops, best of 3: 775 ns per loop
 timeit len(str(2**100))
100000 loops, best of 3: 3.2 µs per loop

timeit math.log10(2**10000)
1000000 loops, best of 3: 844 ns per loop
timeit len(str(2**10000))
100 loops, best of 3: 10.3 ms per loop

没有导入和str()这样的函数的解决方案

def numlen(num):
    result = 1
    divider = 10
    while num % divider != num:
        divider *= 10
        result += 1
    return result

如果你必须要求用户输入，然后你必须数出有多少个数字，那么你可以这样做:

count_number = input('Please enter a number\t')

print(len(count_number))

注意:永远不要使用int作为用户输入。

def digits(n)
    count = 0
    if n == 0:
        return 1
    
    if n < 0:
        n *= -1

    while (n >= 10**count):
        count += 1
        n += n%10

    return count

print(digits(25))   # Should print 2
print(digits(144))  # Should print 3
print(digits(1000)) # Should print 4
print(digits(0))    # Should print 1

def length(i):
  return len(str(i))
