In this task, the goal is to find the <em>character</em> length of a string. This means encodings like [[UTF-8]] need to be handled properly, as there is not necessarily a one-to-one relationship between bytes and characters.

For byte length, see [[String Byte Length]].

==[[ActionScript]]==
[[Category:ActionScript]]
myStrVar.length()

==[[Ada]]==
[[Category:Ada]]

'''Compiler:''' GCC 4.1.2

Str : String := "Hello World";
Length : constant Natural := Str'Length;

==[[AppleScript]]==
[[Category:AppleScript]]
count of "Hello World"

==[[AWK]]==
[[Category:AWK]]
From within any code block:
w=length("Hello, world!") # static string example
x=length("Hello," s " world!") # dynamic string example
y=length($1) # input field example
z=length(s) # variable name example
Ad hoc program from command line:
echo "Hello, world!" | awk '{print length($0)}'
From executable script: (prints for every line arriving on stdin)
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
{print"The length of this line is "length($0)}

==[[C]]==
[[Category:C]]

'''Standard:''' [[ANSI C]] (AKA [[C89]]):

'''Compiler:''' GCC 3.3.3

#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
const char *string = "Hello, world!";
size_t length = strlen(string);
return 0;
}

or by hand:

int main(void)
{
const char *string = "Hello, world!";
size_t length = 0;
char *p = (char *) string;
while (*p != '\0') length ;
return 0;
}

or (for arrays of char only)

#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
char const s[] = "Hello, world!";
size_t length = sizeof s - 1;
return 0;
}

For wide character strings (usually Unicode):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
int main(void)
{
wchar_t *s = L"\x304A\x306F\x3088\x3046"; /* Japanese hiragana ohayou */
size_t length;
length = wcslen(s);
printf("Length in characters = %d\n", length);
printf("Length in bytes = %d\n", sizeof(s) * sizeof(wchar_t));
return 0;
}

'''Standard:''' [[ISO C plus plus|ISO C ]] (AKA [[C plus plus 98|C 98]]):

#include <string> // note: '''not''' <string.h>

// Always in characters == bytes since sizeof(char) == 1
std::string::size_type length = s.length(); // option 1: In Characters/Bytes
std::string::size_type size = s.size(); // option 2: In Characters/Bytes
}

For wide character strings:

#include <string>

std::wstring::size_type length = s.length();

Clean Strings are unboxed arrays of characters. Characters are always a single byte. The function size returns the number of elements in an array.

Java encodes strings in UTF-16, which represents each character with one or two 16-bit values. The most commonly used characters are represented by one 16-bit value, while rarer ones like some mathematical symbols are represented by two.

The length method of String objects gives the number of 16-bit values used to encode a string.
String s = "Hello, world!";
int length = s.length();

Since Java 1.5, the actual number of characters can be determined by calling the codePointCount method.
String str = "\uD834\uDD2A"; //U 1D12A
int length1 = str.length(); //2
int length2 = str.codePointCount(0, str.length()); //1

JavaScript encodes strings in UTF-16, which represents each character with one or two 16-bit values. The most commonly used characters are represented by one 16-bit value, while rarer ones like some mathematical symbols are represented by two.

JavaScript has no built-in way to determine how many characters are in a string. However, if the string only contains commonly used characters, the number of characters will be equal to the number of 16-bit values used to represent the characters.
var str1 = "Hello, world!";
var len1 = str1.length; //13
var str2 = "\uD834\uDD2A"; //U 1D12A represented by a UTF-16 surrogate pair
var len2 = str2.length; //2

or more elaborately, needs '''Interpreter''' any 8.X. Tested on 8.4.12.

fconfigure stdout -encoding utf-8; #So that Unicode string will print correctly
set s1 "hello, world"
set s2 "\u304A\u306F\u3088\u3046"
