Sum Digit Count

Write a Python program to compute the digit number of the sum of two given integers.

Input:
Each test case consists of two non-negative integers x and y which are separated by a space in a line.
0 ≤ x, y ≤ 1,000,000

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Print statement to prompt the user to input two integers
print("Input two integers(a b): ")

# Using map and split to take two space-separated integers as input, then converting them to integers
a, b = map(int, input().split(" "))

# Print statement to display the number of digits in the sum of a and b
print("Number of digits of a and b:")

# Using len and str functions to find and print the length (number of digits) of the sum of a and b
print(len(str(a + b)))

Sample Output:

Input two integers(a b): 
 5 7
Number of digit of a and b.:
2

Explanation:

Here is the breakdown of the above Python exercise:

• Print Statement: Prompts the user to input two integers.
• Input Processing: Takes user input, expecting two space-separated integers, and converts them to integers.
• Print Statement: Indicates that it will print the number of digits in the sum of a and b.
• Calculating and Printing Digits: Converts the sum of a and b to a string, then calculates and prints the length (number of digits) of the resulting string.
