Summary  
This chapter covers using the built-in len() function to calculate the number of characters in a string, counting every character including spaces and punctuation.

General domain of usage  
Input validation

Сalculating the number of characters in a string is a common operation. It helps in tasks like validation, formatting, or data analysis. Python provides a built-in function `len()` to get the length of a string.

```python
len(string)
```

The `string` parameter refers to the text whose length you want to determine; the `len()` function returns the total number of characters in that text, including spaces and punctuation marks.

string = "Practice is the key to success"
length = len(string)

print("Here is the string:", string)
print("And its length is", length)

The `len()` function counts every character in the string, including spaces. In the example, `"Practice is the key to success"` has 30 characters, so `len(text)` returns 30.
