How to apply `Length` in all elements












2












$begingroup$


I want to apply Length in each element from a list.
For example:



My list is: {1,{2,3},{4,5,6}}



How to apply Length in each element of this list?



Length[{1}]

Length[{2,3}]

Length[{4,5,6}]


I have tried to use Thread, but doesn't works:



In[235]:= Thread[Length[{1, {2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}]]



Out[235]= 3


The result that I want is some like:



1

2

3


Which is the number of elements in each element.

    $begingroup$
    What in your opinion is the Length of 1? You can use Map: Map[Length, {1, {2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}].

If[AtomQ @ #, 1, Length @ #] & /@ {1, {2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}



{1, 2, 3}




If the input list does not contain {} (thanks: @corey979), you can also use:



Length /@ {1, {2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}} /. 0 -> 1

(* or Map[Length]@{1, {2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}} /. 0 -> 1 *)



{1, 2, 3}

A mildly adjusted version of the nice Charting answer by yode is to apply a list to each element and flatten:



Length@Flatten@List@#&/@{1, {2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}
