String Length Without Built-in
String Length Without Built-in
EasyStrings83% accepted
Given a string, count and print its length without using any built-in length function. This forces you to think about how strings work — iterate character by character and count. In C, this is how strlen works internally.
Approach
Given a string S, print the number of characters in it (its length) without using len() or .length().
