Get string length
#1
To start off, I just want to print the length of a hard coded string as follows:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
#NestedIfStuff.py

password = "dink"

print(str(password.len()))
But I get the error: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'len'

What's wrong?

you would do it this way
print(len(password))

I need to convert user string input to a number. My statement on line 7 isn't working:

import itertools
import sys
 
alphaNum = 'abc'
password = 'cab'
guessLength = input("How many characters would you like to guess up to: ")
int(guessLength)

 
for x in range(0, guessLength+1):
    guessList = [''.join(i) for i in itertools.product(alphaNum, repeat = x)]
    for guess in guessList:
        if (password == guess):
            print("the password is " + password)
            sys.exit()
        print(guess)
Error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "E:/Python/Python36-32/SamsPrograms/FinalPasswordGuesser.py", line 10, in <module> for x in range(0, guessLength+1): TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly
What do I need to do?

You have forgotten to assign the integer in line 7:

guessLength = int(guessLength)
