ooRexx
<lang oorexx> /* REXX */ a = .array~of('apple','orange') say a~size 'elements' Do e over a

Say "a[2]="a[2]</lang>
- Output:
2 elements apple orange a[2]=orange

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

- Output:

zkl
zkl doesn't support arrays natively, use lists instead. <lang zkl>List("apple", "orange").len().println() //-->2, == L("apple", "orange") T("apple", "orange").len().println() //-->2, read only list (ROList) </lang>
