ALGOL 68

<lang algol68># UPB returns the upper bound of an array, LWB the lower bound # []STRING fruits = ( "apple", "orange" ); print( ( ( UPB fruits - LWB fruits ) + 1, newline ) ) # prints 2 #</lang>

EchoLisp

<lang scheme> (length '("apple" "orange")) ;; list

  → 2

(vector-length #("apple" "orange")) ;; vector

  → 2

</lang>

Haskell

<lang Haskell>-- Char -> Int length ["apple", "orange"]</lang>

JavaScript

<lang javascript>console.log(['apple', 'orange'].length);</lang>

PHP

<lang php>print count(['apple', 'orange']); // Returns 2</lang>

Python

<lang python>>>> print(len(['apple', 'orange'])) 2 >>> </lang>

REXX

<lang rexx>/* REXX ----------------------------------------------

The compond variable a. implements an array
By convention, a.0 contains the number of elements
---------------------------------------------------*/

a.=0 /* initialize the "array" */ call store 'apple' Call store 'orange' Say 'There are' a.0 'elements in the array:' Do i=1 To a.0

 Say 'Element' i':' a.i
 End

Exit store: Procedure Expose a. z=a.0+1 a.z=arg(1) a.0=z Return</lang>

Output:

There are 2 elements in the array:
Element 1: apple
Element 2: orange

SQL

<lang sql>SELECT COUNT() FROM (VALUES ('apple'),('orange'));</lang>
