Question

First and Last Digits
Given two integers M and N, write a program to count of the numbers which have the same first and last digits in the given range M to N (inclusive of M and N).
Input

The first line of input will contain a positive integer M.
The second line of input will contain a positive integer N.
Output

The output should be an integer denoting the count of the numbers in the range which meet the given condition.
Explanation

For example, if the given numbers are M is 5 and N is 30, the numbers which have the first and last digit equal in the given range (5, 6, ..., 29, 30) are 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 22. So the output should be 7.
Sample Input 1
5
30
Sample Output 1
7

Sample Input 2
1
10
Sample Output 2
9

Answer 1

n = int(input('Enter number N: '))
m = int(input('Enter number M: '))
count = len([1 for item in range(n,m+1) if str(item)[0] == str(item)[-1]])
print ('The quanity of numbers with the same first and last digit:', count)
