不需要转换为字符串

import math
digits = int(math.log10(n))+1

也可以处理0和负数

import math
if n > 0:
    digits = int(math.log10(n))+1
elif n == 0:
    digits = 1
else:
    digits = int(math.log10(-n))+2 # +1 if you don't count the '-' 

你可能想把它放在一个函数中:)

以下是一些基准测试。len(str())对于非常小的数字已经落后了

timeit math.log10(2**8)
1000000 loops, best of 3: 746 ns per loop
timeit len(str(2**8))
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.1 µs per loop

timeit math.log10(2**100)
1000000 loops, best of 3: 775 ns per loop
 timeit len(str(2**100))
100000 loops, best of 3: 3.2 µs per loop

timeit math.log10(2**10000)
1000000 loops, best of 3: 844 ns per loop
timeit len(str(2**10000))
100 loops, best of 3: 10.3 ms per loop

from math import log10
digits = lambda n: ((n==0) and 1) or int(log10(abs(n)))+1

正如亲爱的用户@Calvintwr提到的，函数数学。Log10在一个超出范围[-999999999999997,99999999999999997]的数字中有问题，我们会得到浮点数错误。我有这个问题与JavaScript(谷歌V8和NodeJS)和C (GNU GCC编译器)，所以一个“纯数学”的解决方案是不可能在这里。

基于这个要点和答案，亲爱的用户@Calvintwr

import math


def get_count_digits(number: int):
    """Return number of digits in a number."""

    if number == 0:
        return 1

    number = abs(number)

    if number <= 999999999999997:
        return math.floor(math.log10(number)) + 1

    count = 0
    while number:
        count += 1
        number //= 10
    return count

我在长度不超过20(包括20)的数字上进行了测试，没问题。它必须足够，因为64位系统上的最大整数长度是19 (len(str(sys.maxsize)) == 19)。

所有使用Python 3.5测试的代码示例

下面是一个体积大但速度快的版本:

def nbdigit ( x ):
    if x >= 10000000000000000 : # 17 -
        return len( str( x ))
    if x < 100000000 : # 1 - 8
        if x < 10000 : # 1 - 4
            if x < 100             : return (x >= 10)+1 
            else                   : return (x >= 1000)+3
        else: # 5 - 8                                                 
            if x < 1000000         : return (x >= 100000)+5 
            else                   : return (x >= 10000000)+7
    else: # 9 - 16 
        if x < 1000000000000 : # 9 - 12
            if x < 10000000000     : return (x >= 1000000000)+9 
            else                   : return (x >= 100000000000)+11
        else: # 13 - 16
            if x < 100000000000000 : return (x >= 10000000000000)+13 
            else                   : return (x >= 1000000000000000)+15

只有5个比较不是太大的数字。 在我的电脑上，它比数学运算快30%。Log10版本，比len(str())快5%。 好吧……如果你不疯狂地使用它，就没那么吸引人了。

下面是我用来测试/测量我的函数的一组数字:

n = [ int( (i+1)**( 17/7. )) for i in xrange( 1000000 )] + [0,10**16-1,10**16,10**16+1]

注意:它不管理负数，但适应很容易…

好吧，如果不转换为字符串，我会这样做:

def lenDigits(x): 
    """
    Assumes int(x)
    """

    x = abs(x)

    if x < 10:
        return 1

    return 1 + lenDigits(x / 10)

最小递归FTW

计算w/o将整数转换为字符串的位数:

x=123
x=abs(x)
i = 0
while x >= 10**i:
    i +=1
# i is the number of digits
