title: How can I get the total number of elements in my arbitrarily nested list of lists?
body: <p>I have a list assigned to the variable <code>my_list</code>. The value of <code>my_list</code> is <code>[[1,2,3],[3,5,[2,3]], [[3,2],[5,[4]]]]</code>. I need to find the length of <code>my_list</code>, but <code>len(my_list)</code> only returns 3. I want it to return 11. Is there any Python functions that will return the full length of <code>my_list</code> nested lists and all.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Input
  [[1,2,3],[3,5,[2,3]], [[3,2],[5,[4]]]]
  
  Output
  11
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like if this worked for not only numbers, but strings also.</p>
