why always zero is coming as output?

Write a Python program to count the number of strings where the string length is 2 or more and the first and last character are same from a given list of strings

n=int(input())
count=0

for j in range(0,n):
    string=input()

for i in string:
    if len(i)>=2:
        if i[0]==i[-1]:
            count=count+1

print(count)

why output is always showing zero?

You instead need to append the individual inputs to a strings array when building them, then loop over them and check your conditions:

n=int(input())
strings = []
count=0

for j in range(0,n):
    strings.append(input())

for i in strings:
    if len(i)>=2:
        if i[0]==i[-1]:
            count=count+1

print(count)
