On Tue, 3 Dec 2013 08:35:20 -0800 (PST), geezle86@gmail.com declaimed the
following:

>> x = input() 
>> 
>> if x.isdigit() == False: 
>>     i = len(x) 
>>     j = i - 1 
>>     k = i - 2 
>> 
>>     xList = list(x) 
>> 
>>     if len(xList) > 4: 
>>         print(xList[0], int(k), xList[j], sep='', end='') 

	First off -- there is no need to turn the "word" into a list of
characters... You can index strings. x[0] is the first character, x[-1] is
the last.

	Second... k is already an integer, so there is no need to convert it
into an integer.

	Third... i, j, k aren't really needed -- for something this simple

	if not x.isdigit() and len(x) > 4:
		print ("%s%s%s" % (x[0], len(x)-2, x[-1])
	else:
		print (x)
