这里是最简单的方法，不需要将int转换为字符串:

假设给出的数字为15位，例如;n = 787878899999999;

n=787878899999999 
n=abs(n) // we are finding absolute value because if the number is negative int to string conversion will produce wrong output

count=0 //we have taken a counter variable which will increment itself till the last digit

while(n):
    n=n//10   /*Here we are removing the last digit of a number...it will remove until 0 digits will left...and we know that while(0) is False*/
    count+=1  /*this counter variable simply increase its value by 1 after deleting a digit from the original number
print(count)   /*when the while loop will become False because n=0, we will simply print the value of counter variable

输入:

n=787878899999999

输出:

15

下面是一个体积大但速度快的版本:

def nbdigit ( x ):
    if x >= 10000000000000000 : # 17 -
        return len( str( x ))
    if x < 100000000 : # 1 - 8
        if x < 10000 : # 1 - 4
            if x < 100             : return (x >= 10)+1 
            else                   : return (x >= 1000)+3
        else: # 5 - 8                                                 
            if x < 1000000         : return (x >= 100000)+5 
            else                   : return (x >= 10000000)+7
    else: # 9 - 16 
        if x < 1000000000000 : # 9 - 12
            if x < 10000000000     : return (x >= 1000000000)+9 
            else                   : return (x >= 100000000000)+11
        else: # 13 - 16
            if x < 100000000000000 : return (x >= 10000000000000)+13 
            else                   : return (x >= 1000000000000000)+15

只有5个比较不是太大的数字。 在我的电脑上，它比数学运算快30%。Log10版本，比len(str())快5%。 好吧……如果你不疯狂地使用它，就没那么吸引人了。

下面是我用来测试/测量我的函数的一组数字:

n = [ int( (i+1)**( 17/7. )) for i in xrange( 1000000 )] + [0,10**16-1,10**16,10**16+1]

注意:它不管理负数，但适应很容易…

这里是最简单的方法，不需要将int转换为字符串:

假设给出的数字为15位，例如;n = 787878899999999;

n=787878899999999 
n=abs(n) // we are finding absolute value because if the number is negative int to string conversion will produce wrong output

count=0 //we have taken a counter variable which will increment itself till the last digit

while(n):
    n=n//10   /*Here we are removing the last digit of a number...it will remove until 0 digits will left...and we know that while(0) is False*/
    count+=1  /*this counter variable simply increase its value by 1 after deleting a digit from the original number
print(count)   /*when the while loop will become False because n=0, we will simply print the value of counter variable

输入:

n=787878899999999

输出:

15

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)

设数字为n，则n中的位数为:

math.floor(math.log10(n))+1

注意，这将为+ve个整数< 10e15给出正确答案。除此之外，返回类型的数学的精度限制。Log10开始起作用，结果可能相差1。我可以简单地在后面用len(str(n));这需要O(log(n))时间，相当于10的幂次迭代。

感谢@SetiVolkylany让我注意到这个限制。令人惊讶的是，看似正确的解决方案在实现细节中有警告。

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