Counting with Loops
In programming, you often have to use a counter variable to perform basic arithmetic operations within a loop. This approach allows us to iteratively process data, such as summing values or tracking totals.
For example, if you want to calculate the sum of all numbers in a specific range, you can initialize a counter variable and update it during each iteration.
Let's adapt this concept to our common topic, working with the travel_list
. Suppose you want to calculate the total length of all city names in our list.
1234567891011travel_list = ['Monako', 'Luxemburg', 'Liverpool', 'Barcelona', 'Munchen'] # Initialize counter total_length = 0 # Iteration through the list for city in travel_list: # Add the length of each city name total_length += len(city) print('Total length of all city names:', total_length)

You are working on a travel application that needs to analyze country names for display purposes. Your task is to find out how many countries in the list have exactly 6
letters in their names. This will allow the app to group and display countries in a visually appealing and organized way.
- Set up a variable to keep track of how many countries have exactly 6 letters in their names.
- Iterate through the list of
countries
. - Check the length of each country name by using the
len()
function. - Update the counter. If a country's name has
6
letters, increment your counter by1
.
