XML 1 - Find the Score

    I don't know why, but I was pretty sure that we have to do recursive method to solve this problem. I mean, I did that, and it works. But when I see others solutions, I have seen that node.iter() just go through every line of the xml document which is, I think, better.

    Anyway, here my code :

    import sys
import xml.etree.ElementTree as etree

def get_attr_number(node):
    # your code goes here
    count = len(node.attrib)
           
    for child in node:
        count += get_attr_number(child)
        
    return count
    

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.stdin.readline()
    xml = sys.stdin.read()
    tree = etree.ElementTree(etree.fromstring(xml))
    root = tree.getroot()
    print(get_attr_number(root))
