Answer to Question #240483 in Python for Isabel Cortez

Question

Activity #3 – Strings and Lengths

Create a program that will accept an integer X from the user, followed by X

number of strings. The program will then print each string followed by the length of

each string. Then the program will print the shortest and the longest string.

Assume that each string has its own unique length.

Sample Run:

Sample Run A

Enter value of X: 3

Enter string value: a

Enter string value: ab

Enter string value: abc

a - total length is 1

ab - total length is 2

abc - total length is 3

The shortest string is a

The longest string is abc

Sample Run B

Enter value of X: 4

Enter string value: chico

Enter string value: strawberry

Enter string value: banana

Enter string value: guyabano

chico - total length is 5

strawberry - total length is 10

banana - total length is 6

guyabano - total length is 8

The shortest string is chico

The longest string is strawberry

Answer 1

x = int(input('Enter value of x:'))
str_values = []
for i in range(x):
    print('Enter string value')
    str = input()
    str_values.append(str)
for s in str_values:
    print(s, ' - total length is ', len(s))
str_values.sort(key=len)
print('The shortest string is ', str_values[0])
print('The longest string is ', str_values[-1])
