Return Length of Arguments Passed

Difficulty: Easy


Problem Description

Write a function argumentsLength that returns the count of arguments passed to it.


Key Insights

  • The function should count the number of arguments provided during the function call.
  • The function should handle a variety of argument types, including numbers, objects, null, and strings.
  • The maximum number of arguments is limited to 100, making it manageable for counting.

Space and Time Complexity

Time Complexity: O(1) - The counting of arguments is a constant time operation. Space Complexity: O(1) - No additional data structures are required that scale with input size.


Solution

The solution involves defining a function that accesses the built-in arguments object which contains all arguments passed to the function. The length of this object will give the count of the arguments. This approach efficiently counts the arguments irrespective of their types, as the arguments object is an array-like structure.


Code Solutions

def argumentsLength(*args):
    # Return the number of arguments passed to the function
    return len(args)
