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

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)

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。

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…

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

我的代码相同如下，我已经使用了log10方法:

from math import *

def digit_count(数量):

if number>1 and round(log10(number))>=log10(number) and number%10!=0 :
    return round(log10(number))
elif  number>1 and round(log10(number))<log10(number) and number%10!=0:
    return round(log10(number))+1
elif number%10==0 and number!=0:
    return int(log10(number)+1)
elif number==1 or number==0:
    return 1

我必须在1和0的情况下指定，因为log10(1)=0和log10(0)=ND，因此上面提到的条件不满足。但是，此代码仅适用于整数。
