String Character Length
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

In this task, the goal is to find the length of a string.

C

Standard: ANSI C (AKA C89):

Compiler: GCC 3.3.3

 #include <string.h>

 int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
         const char *string = "Hello, world!";
         size_t length = strlen(string);
          
         return 0;
 };

or

 int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
         const char *string = "Hello, world!";
         int length;
         for(length=0; string[length]!='\0'; length++); // for each letter that is not a '\0' adds 
                                                        // one to length's value.
                                                        // '\0' is the string terminator character. 
         
         return 0;
 };

C++

Standard: ISO C++ (AKA C++98):

Compiler: g++ 4.0.2

 #include <string> // note: not <string.h>
 
 int main()
 {
   std::string s = "Hello, world!";
   std::string::size_type length = s.length();
 }

Java

Compiler: any Java compiler should do

String s = "Hello, world!";
int length = s.length();

C#

Platform: .NET Language Version: 1.0+

string s = "Hello, world!";
int length = s.Length;

 string="Hello world"
 length=#string

Ruby
