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)

如果您正在寻找一个不使用内置函数的解决方案。 唯一需要注意的是当你发送a = 000时。

def number_length(a: int) -> int:
    length = 0
    if a == 0:
        return length + 1
    else:
        while a > 0:
            a = a // 10
            length += 1
        return length
    

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print(number_length(123)
    assert number_length(10) == 2
    assert number_length(0) == 1
    assert number_length(256) == 3
    assert number_length(4444) == 4

def count_digit(number):
  if number >= 10:
    count = 2
  else:
    count = 1
  while number//10 > 9:
    count += 1
    number = number//10
  return count

正如亲爱的用户@Calvintwr提到的，函数数学。Log10在一个超出范围[-999999999999997,99999999999999997]的数字中有问题，我们会得到浮点数错误。我有这个问题与JavaScript(谷歌V8和NodeJS)和C (GNU GCC编译器)，所以一个“纯数学”的解决方案是不可能在这里。

基于这个要点和答案，亲爱的用户@Calvintwr

import math


def get_count_digits(number: int):
    """Return number of digits in a number."""

    if number == 0:
        return 1

    number = abs(number)

    if number <= 999999999999997:
        return math.floor(math.log10(number)) + 1

    count = 0
    while number:
        count += 1
        number //= 10
    return count

我在长度不超过20(包括20)的数字上进行了测试，没问题。它必须足够，因为64位系统上的最大整数长度是19 (len(str(sys.maxsize)) == 19)。

所有使用Python 3.5测试的代码示例

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

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
