Count the Number of Lines in a Text File


Python code
# Program to count the number of lines in a text file

# Open the file in read mode


with open("example.txt", "r") as file:
# Count the number of lines using len() on the list of lines
line_count = len(file.readlines())

print("Number of lines:", line_count)

This program opens the file in read mode, reads all lines, and uses len() to count the total
number of lines.

2. Count the Number of Words in a Text File


python code
# Program to count the number of words in a text file

# Open the file in read mode


with open("example.txt", "r") as file:
# Initialize word count to 0
word_count = 0

# Loop through each line in the file


for line in file:
# Split each line into words and count them
words = line.split()
word_count += len(words)

print("Number of words:", word_count)

This program reads each line, splits it into individual words using split(), and counts the
total words by summing up the length of each line's word list.
