I need help

Question

I can't understand why my code is wrong

You have been asked to make a special book categorization program, which assigns each book a special code based on its title.
The code is equal to the first letter of the book, followed by the number of characters in the title.
For example, for the book "Harry Potter", the code would be: H12, as it contains 12 characters (including the space).

You are provided a books.txt file, which includes the book titles, each one written on a separate line.
Read the title one by one and output the code for each book on a separate line.

For example, if the books.txt file contains:
Some book
Another book

Your program should output:
S9
A12

My code

file = open("/usercode/files/books.txt", "r")

#введите код сюда

spisok = file.readlines()

for i in range (len(spisok)):
a = list(spisok[i])
print (a[0] + str(len(a)-1))

file.close()

Result

Your output:
H12
T16
P19
G17

Expected output:
H12
T16
P19
G18

Answer 1

Hi!
Read this once:
"You are provided a books.txt file, which includes the book titles, each one written on a separate line".
It means each book title is separated by a new line character but the last line doesn't have this. Inorder to handle this problem you can use an if-else statement to separate them.
So, your code needs to be like this

file = open("/usercode/files/books.txt", "r")

#введите код сюда

spisok = file.readlines()

for i in range (len(spisok)):
a = list(spisok[i])
if a[-1] == "\n":
print (a[0] + str(len(a)-1))
else:
print(a[0] + str(len(a)))
file.close()
