+2 for `:=`

PHANTOM0308 on April 6, 2020, 2:22 a.m.
is that a new update of Python?

：= only use in py3.8 before v3.8: len(str(num)) - len(str(num).rstrip('0'))

`:=` , not `: =`

I like it. Beautiful Pythonic code!

Cool, thanks for sharing.

smart yet simple. Learnt from this. how does one familiarize with such unusual syntaxes?

Gerstox on May 14, 2020, 6:52 p.m.
I seem very good your solution, and i've learn the rstrip() function! awesome!

Bundy on May 22, 2020, 7:07 a.m.
Wow! I need some Python syntax update on this. :)

Looks nice

Nice use of the new "walrus operator" there! Loved this solution purely on that basis alone!

WuYuFFFan on Aug. 3, 2020, 9:11 a.m.
nice

A smart, beautiful, and concise Pythonic way

moosetraveller on Aug. 25, 2020, 2:13 a.m.
Why rstrip() and not just strip()? An integer (beside zero itself) never starts with a 0 ;)

tom-tom on Aug. 25, 2020, 8:23 a.m.
strip has less letters in its name, but rstrip does less work (I suppose).

tom-tom on Aug. 25, 2020, 9:52 a.m.
And, even more important, rstrip describes intention better.

moosetraveller on Aug. 25, 2020, 2:08 p.m.
That's a solid argument.

It Was Awesome!

brilliant one-liner!

3 text operations, one conversion - your CPU would start throttling if you continue this way. I guess division is much faster.

tom-tom on Dec. 4, 2020, 10:52 a.m.
Make your solution, do a performance comparison, and put it in the Speedy category (or not).

good job

walidshaari on Jan. 6, 2021, 1:11 p.m.
I would rather have it two lines for clarity, readability, as well most of us do not have python 3.8 yet ```python def end_zeros(num: int) -> int: s = str(num) return len(s) - len(s.rstrip('0')) ```

marat.m on March 14, 2021, 12:01 a.m.
Beautiful! This contribution just helped me advance my understanding of two new concepts. The walrus operator and the method str.rstrip(). Thx!

bkaraica on March 15, 2021, 11:44 a.m.
Nice. Learned something today :).

Tylerflx on April 6, 2021, 4:05 a.m.
beautiful

paltuss92 on April 14, 2021, 5:35 p.m.
good

memmedyar888 on May 10, 2021, 1:47 p.m.
why we subtract len? I didn't get that part

tom-tom on May 10, 2021, 4:06 p.m.
End zeros length equals total length minus length with end zeros truncated

_Chico_ on May 22, 2021, 6:17 a.m.
I like that one:)

TheBigHotdog on May 23, 2021, 6:13 p.m.
what is <pre class='brush: python'>:= </pre> ?

_Chico_ on May 26, 2021, 7:04 a.m.
Just google :-)

ainoneko on July 16, 2021, 4:30 p.m.

excellent!!!!!!

alekssamos on Sept. 16, 2021, 8:34 a.m.
I don't understand how it works! Please explain Я не понимаю, как это работает! Объясните, пожалуйста

tom-tom on Sept. 16, 2021, 5:20 p.m.
<pre class='brush: python'>7309851000 7309851 <-- 10 --> <- 7 -> </pre> 10 - 7 = 3

viktor.chyrkin on Sept. 26, 2021, 12:53 p.m.
cool

kudinov.feodor on Nov. 22, 2021, 6:55 a.m.
Here comes hater of walrus operator ) I think you could avoid using := in such simple example, as it reduces readability and increases complexity of code.

Loutfi on Dec. 16, 2021, 1:24 p.m.
Magical !

alexche_8 on April 29, 2022, 12:57 p.m.
It was brutal
