Here's why:
sage: [1..3, step=.1]
[1.00,
1.10,
1.20,
1.30,
1.40,
1.50,
1.6

The string length is naturally already mentioned by D. Joyner ( len
(str(n)) )
But for teaching and other mathematical connections,
would it perhaps be better to use the (base 10 logarithm)
decimal logarithm to get the number of digits?
In python it is ceil(log10(n))
Can be used like this:
sag
Yes, yes, of course! But I was just thinking of it as the langth of a
string
