这个问题已经问了好几年了，但是我已经编写了一个基准测试，其中包含了几种计算整数长度的方法。

def libc_size(i): 
    return libc.snprintf(buf, 100, c_char_p(b'%i'), i) # equivalent to `return snprintf(buf, 100, "%i", i);`

def str_size(i):
    return len(str(i)) # Length of `i` as a string

def math_size(i):
    return 1 + math.floor(math.log10(i)) # 1 + floor of log10 of i

def exp_size(i):
    return int("{:.5e}".format(i).split("e")[1]) + 1 # e.g. `1e10` -> `10` + 1 -> 11

def mod_size(i):
    return len("%i" % i) # Uses string modulo instead of str(i)

def fmt_size(i):
    return len("{0}".format(i)) # Same as above but str.format

(libc函数需要一些设置，我没有包括这些设置)

size_exp由Brian Preslopsky提供，size_str由GeekTantra提供，size_math由John La Rooy提供

以下是调查结果:

Time for libc size:      1.2204 μs
Time for string size:    309.41 ns
Time for math size:      329.54 ns
Time for exp size:       1.4902 μs
Time for mod size:       249.36 ns
Time for fmt size:       336.63 ns
In order of speed (fastest first):
+ mod_size (1.000000x)
+ str_size (1.240835x)
+ math_size (1.321577x)
+ fmt_size (1.350007x)
+ libc_size (4.894290x)
+ exp_size (5.976219x)

(声明:函数在输入1到1,000,000上运行)

下面是sys的测试结果。Maxsize: 100000 to sys.maxsize:

Time for libc size:      1.4686 μs
Time for string size:    395.76 ns
Time for math size:      485.94 ns
Time for exp size:       1.6826 μs
Time for mod size:       364.25 ns
Time for fmt size:       453.06 ns
In order of speed (fastest first):
+ mod_size (1.000000x)
+ str_size (1.086498x)
+ fmt_size (1.243817x)
+ math_size (1.334066x)
+ libc_size (4.031780x)
+ exp_size (4.619188x)

正如你所看到的，mod_size (len("%i" %i))是最快的，比使用str(i)略快，比其他方法快得多。

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)

n = 3566002020360505
count = 0
while(n>0):
  count += 1
  n = n //10
print(f"The number of digits in the number are: {count}")

output: number中的位数为:16

from math import log10
digits = lambda n: ((n==0) and 1) or int(log10(abs(n)))+1

顶部的答案是说mathlog10更快，但我得到的结果表明len(str(n))更快。

arr = []
for i in range(5000000):
    arr.append(random.randint(0,12345678901234567890))

%%timeit

for n in arr:
    len(str(n))
//2.72 s ± 304 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

%%timeit

for n in arr:
    int(math.log10(n))+1
//3.13 s ± 545 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

此外，我没有在数学方法中添加逻辑来返回准确的结果，我只能想象这会使它更加缓慢。

我不知道之前的答案是如何证明数学方法更快的。

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
