This function returns the number of elements in the argument which is passed to the `len()` function.
## Code Sample
list1 = [123, 'xyz', 'zara'] # list
print(len(list1)) # prints 3 as there are 3 elements in the list1
str1 = 'basketball' # string
print(len(str1)) # prints 10 as the str1 is made of 10 characters
tuple1 = (2, 3, 4, 5) # tuple
print(len(tuple1)) # prints 4 as there are 4 elements in the tuple1
dict1 = {'name': 'John', 'age': 4, 'score': 45} # dictionary
print(len(dict1)) # prints 3 as there are 3 key and value pairs in the dict1
```py
>>> list1 = [123, 'xyz', 'zara'] # list
>>> print(len(list1)) # prints 3 as there are 3 elements in the list1
3

>>> str1 = 'basketball' # string

```py
>>> d2=[[1,2,3],[3,4,5],[5,6,7,2]] # 2 dimensional list or a list of lists
>>> print(len(d2)) #prints 3 because there are 3 different lists in the outer list.
