Count number of characters in a string, create a data frame column out of it?
<p>A quick question for the universe of programmers. </p>

<p>DATA. Data frame column consisting of names.</p>

<pre><code>g['NAME']=['John', 'Michael', 'Jezus', 'Donald', 'Suzy']
</code></pre>

<p>DESIRED RESULT. Another, parallel data frame column consisting of number of characters in for each name in g['NAME'].</p>

<pre><code>g['NAME_count'] = [4,7,5,6,4]
</code></pre>

<p>Thank you in advance!</p>
