print("Result:")
print(len(''.join(sample_names)))

Sample Output:

Result:
16

Python: Tips of the Day

Takes any number of iterable objects or objects with a length property and returns the longest one. If multiple objects have the same length, the first one will be returned

Example:

def tips_longest(*args):
  return max(args, key=len)

print(tips_longest('this', 'is', 'a', 'Python', 'Tutorial'))
print(tips_longest([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [1, 2]))
print(tips_longest([1, 2, 3], 'python'))

Output:

Tutorial
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
