Array length is computed at compilation time with the formula: (Array_End-Array). Even though the labels Array and Array_End are both 16-bit values, if their difference fits into 8 bits the assembler will allow you to load it into a register.
<syntaxhighlight lang="6502asm">start:
LDA #(Array_End-Array) ;evaluates to 13

Array_End:</syntaxhighlight>
=={{header|68000 Assembly}}==
Array length is computed at compilation time with the formula: (Array_End-Array). The "bit width" of this value is the bit width of the result, not the bit width of the inputs. In other words, even though code labels are 32-bit memory addresses, if their difference is 8 or 16-bit you can use a <code>.B</code> or <code>.W</code> instruction or directive on them without a compile-time error.
The biggest limitation to the (Array_End-Array) method is that it always measures in total bytes. So if your array elements are of a different type you'll have to adjust accordingly. For an array strings, you should instead construct an array of pointers to strings and divide the result of the difference by 4 to get the total number of "strings" in the array.

The concept of arrays does not exist in ABAP, instead internal tables are used. Since ABAP Version 7.40 they can be accessed with the common index notation. Note that the index starts at 1 and out of bound access raises an exception. The built-in function "lines" returns the number of records.

True BASIC's arrays are not fixed in length and, although True BASIC is a compiled-language, the number of elements can be changed during runtime using such functions as the MAT REDIM (matrix re-dimension) function. Although the starting index of 1 is in implicit, it can be changed by setting the lower and upper bounds (eg. fruit(0 to 3)) when declaring the array. Also, the example below uses the MAT READ function to read in the data elements into the array without having to explicitly list each variable-array index. The example also uses the SIZE function vs the bounds method to determine the length of the array. Finally, in this example the SIZE function was not assigned to a separate variable and instead is used within the PRINT function itself.

=={{header|C}}==
===A commonly used solution===
C features two kinds of arrays: static (compile-time, fixed size) and dynamic (allocated at runtime).
Line 193 ⟶ 755:
For static arrays:
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
#include <stdio.h>
Line 215 ⟶ 777:
return 0;
}
</syntaxhighlight>
A C pre-processor macro may be created for ease of use:
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
#define ARRAY_LENGTH(A) (sizeof(A) / sizeof(A[0]))
</syntaxhighlight>
Note that these arrays become pointers when passed as a parameter to a function.
Thus, the length of an array parameter may not be required directly - a dedicated length parameter would be required.
==
<p>
The C language uses arrays of a declared size (including variable length arrays,
i.e. VLA) and dynamically allocated memory blocks. While they are mostly the same,
it is important that the sizeof operator, which returns a number of bytes,
behaves quite differently for arrays and for memory pointers.
</p><p>
The problem is that arrays are passed to functions (procedures) via pointers.
Even if we define a global variable as an array, after using it as a function
argument the appropriate parameter will "forget" what size the array is.
</p><p>
Therefore, an object-oriented technique is used in the solution below. (This is possible even with standard C, i.e. C without ++.) Block of memory in which is stored the array is wrapped in structure and thus the size of the array can be easily stored. It is very convenient. Having defined such "classes" as StringArray, their use is easy and hassle-free. Nevertheless, the C language is not designed for OOP, and therefore C ++ is simply better for these kinds of applications.

C++ follows the same rules as C regarding static and dynamic arrays.
However, C++ has an additional <code>std::array</code> type (amongst other collections) in its standard library:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">#include <array>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::array<std::string, 2> fruit { "apples", "oranges" };
std::cout << fruit.size();
return 0;
}</syntaxhighlight>
Note that <code>char*</code> or <code>const char*</code> could have been used instead of <code>std::string</code>.
In addition to the <code>std::array</code> type, the C++ standard library also provides dynamically-sized containers to hold arbitrary objects.
These all support similar interfaces, though their implementations have different performance characteristics.
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> std::vector<std::string> fruitV({ "apples", "oranges" });
std::list<std::string> fruitL({ "apples", "oranges" });
std::deque<std::string> fruitD({ "apples", "oranges" });
std::cout << fruitV.size() << fruitL.size() << fruitD.size() << std::endl;</syntaxhighlight>
Of these, vector is probably the most widely used.

The philosophy of Chuck Moore, the creator of Forth was that he did not want to write code for something he may never use. His solution was to distill his language into a large set of very simple routines that control the hardware directly.
This demonstration must build "arrays" from scratch. In Forth, like in Assembler, you can do this any way you want. This demonstration adds new words to Forth that make a syntax to create simple variable length string arrays. Each string is a counted string with no trailing zero.
The code is commented to explain what is going on for those unfamiliar with Forth.
<syntaxhighlight lang="forth">: STRING, ( caddr len -- ) \ Allocate space & compile string into memory
HERE OVER CHAR+ ALLOT PLACE ;
: " ( -- ) [CHAR] " PARSE STRING, ; \ Parse input to " and compile to memory
\ Array delimiter words

: } ALIGN 0 C, ;
\ String array words

: {NTH} ( n array_addr -- str) \ Returns address of the Nth item in the array
SWAP 0 DO {NEXT} LOOP ;

=={{header|Fortran}}==
Early fortrans offered no protocol for ascertaining the length (or dimensionality) of arrays, though the compiler has this information. Thus a statement such as <code>PRINT A</code> would print all the elements of a variable <code>A</code> according to its definition. A subprogram that received a parameter would have no access to these details, so its parameter might be declared as <code>A(12345)</code> simply to signify that it was an array (rather than an ordinary variable) and the programmer would rely on other data to know the upper bound to employ, for instance via an additional parameter. ''Any mistakes would cause crashes!'' On the other hand, with heavy computational tasks, it was common to take advantage of the opportunities. Thus, a subprogram might regard its array parameter as one-dimensional even though the actual parameter was not. Carefully-programmed routines might thusly process a sequence of elements via 1-D indexing, far faster than the 2-D or higher order indexing of the original. Success at this game required understanding how array elements were arranged in multidimensional arrays.
Later fortrans allowed <code>A(*)</code> to signify an array parameter of unstated upper bound, but there was still a problem with higher dimensions. All but the last dimension has to be stated correctly if a multi-dimensional array parameter is to be indexed correctly - Fortran stores array elements in [[Array#Fortran|column-major]] order.
With Fortran 90, a new protocol was introduced, whereby the parameter might be declared as <code>A(:)</code> signifying an array of one dimension, of bounds unstated. A 2-D array would have <code>A(:,:)</code> and so on. Further, arrays could have arbitrary lower bounds as well, as in <code>A(-7:12)</code> but if no colon appeared for a dimension, the lower bound would be assumed to be one so <code>A(2)</code> means an array of two elements, as before. And as before, in a subprogram a bound could be explicitly stated, perhaps via an explicit parameter such as <code>N</code>, but now with the <code>:</code> scheme, the compiler is passing secret additional parameters to the subprogram giving the bounds of the array, and these can be accessed via the library functions LBOUND and UBOUND. For multi-dimensional arrays there are multiple bounds, and an invocation might be <code>UBOUND(A,DIM = 2)</code> but in the example only a one-dimensional array is involved. These facilities are available only if the new MODULE protocol is employed.
The task is in terms of an array holding the texts "Apple" and "Orange", so a CHARACTER*6 element size will do; the subprogram receives yet another secret parameter specifying the size of CHARACTER parameters. This size can be accessed via the LEN function, and, since in principle the index span is arbitrary, no constant index is sure to be a valid index of some single element: thus the LBOUND function is used to finger one that is.
Line 522 ⟶ 1,512:
For a simple example, the WRITE(6,*) suffices: write to standard output (the 6), in free-format (the *).
<syntaxhighlight lang="fortran">
MODULE EXAMPLE

Line 543 ⟶ 1,533:

END
</syntaxhighlight>
Output:
Line 552 ⟶ 1,542:
L. bound -1 , U. bound 1
Notice that the subprogram sees the array as an old-style array starting with index one! If it is to work with a lower bound other than one, the declaration in the subprogram must state it, perhaps as A(-1:) or as A(START:), ''etc''. The upper bound remains unspecified, and with that declaration, UBOUND returns 1 instead of 3, corresponding to the shift. Thus, UBOUND returns not the actual upper bound of the array parameter (as supplied) but the upper bound relative to the lower bound in use ''in'' the subprogram so that UBOUND - LBOUND + 1 does give the number of elements.
If in the subprogram the bounds are fixed (say as <code>A(-1:6)</code>) then a CALL ABOUND(ARRAY) may provoke a compiler complaint if ARRAY is not a suitable size.

However, determining the length of a list, array, or collection may simply be the wrong thing to do.
Line 696 ⟶ 1,771:
If, for example, the actual task (undefined here, unfortunately) requires retrieving the final item, while it is perfectly possible to write '''last''' in terms of '''length'''
<
return lst[lst.length - 1];
}</
using length has the disadvantage that it leaves ''last'' simply undefined for an empty list.
Line 704 ⟶ 1,779:
We might do better to drop the narrow focus on length, and instead use a fold (''reduce'', in JS terms) which can return a default value of some kind.
<
return lst.reduce(function (a, x) {
return x;
}, null);
}</
Alternatively, rather than scanning the entire list to simply get the final value, it might sometimes be better to test the length:
<
return list.length ?list[list.length-1] :defaultValue;
}</
Or use other built-in functions – this, for example, seems fairly clear, and is already 100+ times faster than unoptimised tail recursion in ES5 (testing with a list of 1000 elements):
<
return list.slice(-1)[0] || defaultValue;
}</

As stated before in the [[Arrays#Robotic|arrays]] section on this Wiki, there is no functions listed for the manipulation/status of arrays. The best way we can count for length in an array is to have a variable keep track of it.

set "$array&index&" to "orange"

=={{header|S-BASIC}}==
Finding the size of an S-BASIC array at run-time is convoluted, to say the least, but it can be done. (It would also generally be pointless, since the size of an array is fixed - and thus presumably known - at compile time.) Each array has an associated data structure (referred to in the documentation as "SPEC") containing information such as the number of dimensions, the size of an array element, the size of each dimension, and so on. The address of the SPEC for an array can be obtained using the LOCATION statement. For a single-dimension array, the number of elements will be found five bytes into the structure, at a point described in the documentation as the "dope vector".

Arrays don't have an "end" as defined by the language, so there are a couple ways to mark the end of an array. One is with a null terminator, and the other is with a pre-defined size byte stored at the beginning. Using a null terminator isn't the best choice for a general-purpose array since it means your array cannot contain that value anywhere except at the end. However, since having the size already determined defeats the purpose of this task, the null-terminator method will be used for this example.
The simplest way to implement an array of variable-length strings is to have the array contain pointers to said strings rather than the strings themselves. That way, the elements of the array are of equal length, which makes any array <b>much</b> easier to work with.

Array length is computed at compilation time with the formula: (Array_End-Array). Even though the labels Array and Array_End are both 16-bit values, if their difference fits into 8 bits the assembler will allow you to load it into a register.
start:
LDA #(Array_End-Array) ;evaluates to 13

Array:
byte "apple",0
byte "orange",0
Array_End:
68000 Assembly
Array length is computed at compilation time with the formula: (Array_End-Array). The "bit width" of this value is the bit width of the result, not the bit width of the inputs. In other words, even though code labels are 32-bit memory addresses, if their difference is 8 or 16-bit you can use a .B
or .W
instruction or directive on them without a compile-time error.
The biggest limitation to the (Array_End-Array) method is that it always measures in total bytes. So if your array elements are of a different type you'll have to adjust accordingly. For an array strings, you should instead construct an array of pointers to strings and divide the result of the difference by 4 to get the total number of "strings" in the array.
start:
MOVE.B #(MyArray_End-MyArray)/4 ;evaluates to 2

The concept of arrays does not exist in ABAP, instead internal tables are used. Since ABAP Version 7.40 they can be accessed with the common index notation. Note that the index starts at 1 and out of bound access raises an exception. The built-in function "lines" returns the number of records.

set theList to {"apple", "orange"}
count theList
-- or
length of theList
-- or
number of items in theList
Strictly speaking, 'items in' can be omitted from the last example, since 'number of' does essentially the same as 'length of'. The additional stage of extracting theList's 'items' is inefficient.

2
No context or goal is provided for this task – sometimes for example, we may simply want to take the last member of an array, and counting the length to derive an index might well not be the best route.
More generally, we may learn more about AppleScript by defining length() ourselves. There are two basic functional approaches to doing that – we can write a simple recursive definition, or, if we have a higher order fold/reduce function (see Catamorphism) we can derive length() as:
fold (λx n -> 1 + n) 0
on run
set xs to ["alpha", "beta", "gamma", "delta", "epsilon", ¬
"zeta", "eta", "theta", "iota", "kappa", "lambda", "mu"]
{_length(xs), fold(xs, succ, 0), item 12 of xs, item -1 of xs}
--> {12, 12, "mu", "mu"}
end run
-- TWO FUNCTIONAL DEFINITIONS OF LENGTH
-- 1. Recursive definition
on _length(xs)
if xs is [] then
0
else
1 + _length(rest of xs)
end if
end _length
-- 2. fold (λx n -> 1 + n) 0
on succ(x)
1 + x
end succ
--[a] - > (a - > b) - > b - > [b]
on fold(xs, f, startValue)
script mf
property lambda : f
end script
set v to startValue
repeat with x in xs
set v to mf's lambda(v, x)
end repeat
end fold
- Output:
{12, 12, "mu", "mu"}

AWK
The main use of the length()-function is to determine the length of a string.
When used on an array, it returns the number of elements.
Another method to count the elements of the array is by using a variant of for().
# usage: awk -f arraylen.awk
#
function countElements(array) {
for( e in array ) {c++}
return c
}
BEGIN {
array[1] = "apple"

Commodore BASIC
Commodore BASIC has no way within the language to query an array for its length, but you can dive into the implementation to get that information. On a C-64 in particular, this works:
10 DIM A$(1):REM 1=LAST -> ROOM FOR 2
20 A$(0) = "ORANGE"
30 A$(1) = "APPLE"
40 AT=0:N$="":T=0:L=0:REM DECLARE ALL VARS BEFORE PEEKING
50 AT=PEEK(47)+256*PEEK(48):REM START OF ARRAYS IN MEMORY
60 N$=CHR$(PEEK(AT)AND127)+CHR$(PEEK(AT+1)AND127):REM NAME
70 T=(PEEK(AT) AND 128)*2+(PEEK(AT+1)AND128):REM TYPE
80 IF T=384 THEN N$=N$+"%": REM INTEGER
90 IF T=128 THEN N$=N$+"$": REM STRING
100 L=PEEK(AT+6): REM FIRST INDEX SIZE
110 PRINT N$" HAS"L"ELEMENTS."
- Output:
A$ HAS 2 ELEMENTS.

True BASIC's arrays are not fixed in length and, although True BASIC is a compiled-language, the number of elements can be changed during runtime using such functions as the MAT REDIM (matrix re-dimension) function. Although the starting index of 1 is in implicit, it can be changed by setting the lower and upper bounds (eg. fruit(0 to 3)) when declaring the array. Also, the example below uses the MAT READ function to read in the data elements into the array without having to explicitly list each variable-array index. The example also uses the SIZE function vs the bounds method to determine the length of the array. Finally, in this example the SIZE function was not assigned to a separate variable and instead is used within the PRINT function itself.
DIM fruit$(2)
MAT READ fruit$
DATA "apple", "orange"
PRINT "The length of the array 'fruit$' is "; SIZE(fruit$)
END
- Output:
The length of the array 'fruit$' is 2

Batch File
While batch files don't support arrays in the traditional sense, sets of variables forming somewhat of a pseudo-array are extremely useful. They are usually in the form of %name{number}%
. The below code gives an example of how to create an array from a list stored in a variable, and how to acquire the amount of entries in the array.
@echo off

C
A commonly used solution
C features two kinds of arrays: static (compile-time, fixed size) and dynamic (allocated at runtime).
The length of a dynamic array cannot be acquired from the array itself - its length must be stored elsewhere.
For static arrays:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
const char *fruit[2] = { "apples", "oranges" };
// Acquire the length of the array by dividing the size of all elements (found
// with sizeof(fruit)) by the size of the first element.
// Note that since the array elements are pointers to null-terminated character
// arrays, the size of the first element is actually the size of the pointer
// type - not the length of the string.
// This size, regardless of the type being pointed to, is 8 bytes, 4 bytes, or
// 2 bytes on 64-bit, 32-bit, or 16-bit platforms respectively.
int length = sizeof(fruit) / sizeof(fruit[0]);
printf("%d\n", length);
return 0;
}
A C pre-processor macro may be created for ease of use:
#define ARRAY_LENGTH(A) (sizeof(A) / sizeof(A[0]))
Note that these arrays become pointers when passed as a parameter to a function. Thus, the length of an array parameter may not be required directly - a dedicated length parameter would be required.
Safe solution
The C language uses arrays of a declared size (including variable length arrays, i.e. VLA) and dynamically allocated memory blocks. While they are mostly the same, it is important that the sizeof operator, which returns a number of bytes, behaves quite differently for arrays and for memory pointers.
The problem is that arrays are passed to functions (procedures) via pointers. Even if we define a global variable as an array, after using it as a function argument the appropriate parameter will "forget" what size the array is.
Therefore, an object-oriented technique is used in the solution below. (This is possible even with standard C, i.e. C without ++.) Block of memory in which is stored the array is wrapped in structure and thus the size of the array can be easily stored. It is very convenient. Having defined such "classes" as StringArray, their use is easy and hassle-free. Nevertheless, the C language is not designed for OOP, and therefore C ++ is simply better for these kinds of applications.

C#
using System;
class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
var fruit = new[] { "apple", "orange" };
Console.WriteLine(fruit.Length);
}
}
Note that any of the following array declarations could be used:
var fruit = new[] { "apple", "orange" };
var fruit = new string[] { "apple", "orange" };
string[] fruit = new[] { "apple", "orange" };
string[] fruit = new string[] { "apple", "orange" };
string[] fruit = { "apple", "orange" };
A shorter variant could also have been used:
using static System.Console;
class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
WriteLine(new[] { "apples", "oranges" }.Length);
}
}
C++
C++ follows the same rules as C regarding static and dynamic arrays.
However, C++ has an additional std::array
type (amongst other collections) in its standard library:
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::array<std::string, 2> fruit { "apples", "oranges" };
std::cout << fruit.size();
return 0;
}
Note that char*
or const char*
could have been used instead of std::string
.
In addition to the std::array
type, the C++ standard library also provides dynamically-sized containers to hold arbitrary objects.
These all support similar interfaces, though their implementations have different performance characteristics.
std::vector<std::string> fruitV({ "apples", "oranges" });
std::list<std::string> fruitL({ "apples", "oranges" });
std::deque<std::string> fruitD({ "apples", "oranges" });
std::cout << fruitV.size() << fruitL.size() << fruitD.size() << std::endl;
Of these, vector is probably the most widely used.

Forth
The philosophy of Chuck Moore, the creator of Forth was that he did not want to write code for something he may never use. His solution was to distill his language into a large set of very simple routines that control the hardware directly. This demonstration must build "arrays" from scratch. In Forth, like in Assembler, you can do this any way you want. This demonstration adds new words to Forth that make a syntax to create simple variable length string arrays. Each string is a counted string with no trailing zero.
The code is commented to explain what is going on for those unfamiliar with Forth.
: STRING, ( caddr len -- ) \ Allocate space & compile string into memory
HERE OVER CHAR+ ALLOT PLACE ;
: " ( -- ) [CHAR] " PARSE STRING, ; \ Parse input to " and compile to memory
\ Array delimiter words

: } ALIGN 0 C, ;
\ String array words
: {NEXT} ( str -- next_str) \ Iterate to next string
COUNT + ;
: {NTH} ( n array_addr -- str) \ Returns address of the Nth item in the array
SWAP 0 DO {NEXT} LOOP ;

{NEXT}

Fortran
Early fortrans offered no protocol for ascertaining the length (or dimensionality) of arrays, though the compiler has this information. Thus a statement such as PRINT A
would print all the elements of a variable A
according to its definition. A subprogram that received a parameter would have no access to these details, so its parameter might be declared as A(12345)
simply to signify that it was an array (rather than an ordinary variable) and the programmer would rely on other data to know the upper bound to employ, for instance via an additional parameter. Any mistakes would cause crashes! On the other hand, with heavy computational tasks, it was common to take advantage of the opportunities. Thus, a subprogram might regard its array parameter as one-dimensional even though the actual parameter was not. Carefully-programmed routines might thusly process a sequence of elements via 1-D indexing, far faster than the 2-D or higher order indexing of the original. Success at this game required understanding how array elements were arranged in multidimensional arrays.
Later fortrans allowed A(*)
to signify an array parameter of unstated upper bound, but there was still a problem with higher dimensions. All but the last dimension has to be stated correctly if a multi-dimensional array parameter is to be indexed correctly - Fortran stores array elements in column-major order.
With Fortran 90, a new protocol was introduced, whereby the parameter might be declared as A(:)
signifying an array of one dimension, of bounds unstated. A 2-D array would have A(:,:)
and so on. Further, arrays could have arbitrary lower bounds as well, as in A(-7:12)
but if no colon appeared for a dimension, the lower bound would be assumed to be one so A(2)
means an array of two elements, as before. And as before, in a subprogram a bound could be explicitly stated, perhaps via an explicit parameter such as N
, but now with the :
scheme, the compiler is passing secret additional parameters to the subprogram giving the bounds of the array, and these can be accessed via the library functions LBOUND and UBOUND. For multi-dimensional arrays there are multiple bounds, and an invocation might be UBOUND(A,DIM = 2)
but in the example only a one-dimensional array is involved. These facilities are available only if the new MODULE protocol is employed.
The task is in terms of an array holding the texts "Apple" and "Orange", so a CHARACTER*6 element size will do; the subprogram receives yet another secret parameter specifying the size of CHARACTER parameters. This size can be accessed via the LEN function, and, since in principle the index span is arbitrary, no constant index is sure to be a valid index of some single element: thus the LBOUND function is used to finger one that is.
For a simple example, the WRITE(6,*) suffices: write to standard output (the 6), in free-format (the *).
MODULE EXAMPLE
CONTAINS
SUBROUTINE ABOUND(A)
CHARACTER*(*) A(:) !One dimensional array, unspecified bounds.
WRITE (6,*) "Lower bound",LBOUND(A),", Upper bound",UBOUND(A)
WRITE (6,*) "Element size",LEN(A(LBOUND(A)))
WRITE (6,*) A
END SUBROUTINE ABOUND
END MODULE EXAMPLE
PROGRAM SHOWBOUNDS
USE EXAMPLE
CHARACTER*6 ARRAY(-1:1)
ARRAY(-1) = "Apple"
ARRAY(0) = "Orange"
ARRAY(1) = ""
CALL ABOUND(ARRAY)
WRITE (6,*) "But, when it is at home..."
WRITE (6,*) "L. bound",LBOUND(ARRAY),", U. bound",UBOUND(ARRAY)
END
Output:
Lower bound 1 , Upper bound 3 Element size 6 Apple Orange But, when it is at home... L. bound -1 , U. bound 1
Notice that the subprogram sees the array as an old-style array starting with index one! If it is to work with a lower bound other than one, the declaration in the subprogram must state it, perhaps as A(-1:) or as A(START:), etc. The upper bound remains unspecified, and with that declaration, UBOUND returns 1 instead of 3, corresponding to the shift. Thus, UBOUND returns not the actual upper bound of the array parameter (as supplied) but the upper bound relative to the lower bound in use in the subprogram so that UBOUND - LBOUND + 1 does give the number of elements.
If in the subprogram the bounds are fixed (say as A(-1:6)
) then a CALL ABOUND(ARRAY) may provoke a compiler complaint if ARRAY is not a suitable size.

Fōrmulæ
Fōrmulæ programs are not textual, visualization/edition of programs is done showing/manipulating structures but not text. Moreover, there can be multiple visual representations of the same program. Even though it is possible to have textual representation —i.e. XML, JSON— they are intended for storage and transfer purposes more than visualization and edition.
Programs in Fōrmulæ are created/edited online in its website.
In this page you can see and run the program(s) related to this task and their results. You can also change either the programs or the parameters they are called with, for experimentation, but remember that these programs were created with the main purpose of showing a clear solution of the task, and they generally lack any kind of validation.

Tally (#
) returns the length of the leading dimension of an array (or 1 if the array has no dimensions). Shape Of ($
) returns the length of each dimension of an array.
# 'apple';'orange'
2
$ 'apple';'orange'
2
For the list array example given, the result appears to be the same. The difference is that the result of Tally is a scalar (array of 0 dimensions) whereas the result of Shape Of is a list (1 dimensional array), of length 1 in this case.
$#'apple';'orange'
$$'apple';'orange'

This might be a clearer concept with a few more examples. Here's an array with two dimensions:
>'apple';'orange'
apple

$>'apple';'orange'

#>'apple';'orange'
2
And, here's an array with no dimensions:
9001
9001
#9001

$9001
You can count the number of dimensions of an array (the length of the list of lengths) using #$array
:
#$9001
0
#$'apple';'orange'
1
#$>'apple';'orange'

The resulting array object will have a length field.
String[] strings = { "apple", "orange" };
int length = strings.length;
Additionally, you can do this in one line, if need be.
int length = new String[] { "apple", "orange" }.length;
JavaScript
console.log(['apple', 'orange'].length);
However, determining the length of a list, array, or collection may simply be the wrong thing to do.
If, for example, the actual task (undefined here, unfortunately) requires retrieving the final item, while it is perfectly possible to write last in terms of length
function last(lst) {
return lst[lst.length - 1];
}
using length has the disadvantage that it leaves last simply undefined for an empty list.
We might do better to drop the narrow focus on length, and instead use a fold (reduce, in JS terms) which can return a default value of some kind.
function last(lst) {
return lst.reduce(function (a, x) {
return x;
}, null);
}
Alternatively, rather than scanning the entire list to simply get the final value, it might sometimes be better to test the length:
function last(list, defaultValue) {
return list.length ?list[list.length-1] :defaultValue;
}
Or use other built-in functions – this, for example, seems fairly clear, and is already 100+ times faster than unoptimised tail recursion in ES5 (testing with a list of 1000 elements):
function last(list, defaultValue) {
return list.slice(-1)[0] || defaultValue;
}

Liberty BASIC
When a one or two dimensional array, A$, with subscript(s) of 10 or less is referenced (either by assigning or reading), the compiler does an implicit DIM A$(10) or DIM A$(10,10). Before referencing an array with any subscript numbered higher than 10, or arrays of three dimensions or more, the programmer must first issue an explicit DIM statement.
There is no function in Liberty Basic to directly read the size of an array. This program uses error trapping loops to, first, determine the number of dimensions of the array. Then, second, again uses error trapping loops to determine the number of elements in each dimension. Finally, it prints the DIM statement that was used to define the array.
I suppose the implicit DIM feature makes it a bit quicker to write short, simple programs. One or two dimension arrays may be resized with REDIM. Three dimension or more arrays can not be resized. All arrays may be cleared with REDIM. Keep in mind that A$(n) and A$(n,m) are the same array. You must refer to it with the correct arguments or get an error.
NOTE -- This program runs only under LB Booster version 3.05 or higher because of arrays with more than two dimensions, passed array names to functions and subroutines as a parameter, and structured error trapping syntax. Get the LBB compiler here: http://lbbooster.com/

Perl
The way to get the number of elements of an array in Perl is to put the array in scalar context.
my @array = qw "apple orange banana", 4, 42;
scalar @array; # 5
0 + @arrray; # 5
'' . @array; # "5"
my $elems = @array; # $elems = 5
scalar @{ [1,2,3] }; # [1,2,3] is a reference which is already a scalar
my $array_ref = \@array; # a reference
scalar @$array_ref;
# using subroutine prototypes, not generally recommended
# and not usually what you think they are
sub takes_a_scalar ($) { my ($a) = @_; return $a }
takes_a_scalar @array;
# the built-ins can also act like they have prototypes
A common mistake is to use length
which works on strings not arrays.
So using it on an array, as a side-effect, actually gives you a number which represents the order of magnitude.
length '' . @array; # 1
length @array; # 1
print '0.', scalar @array, 'e', length @array, "\n"; # 0.5e1
@array = 1..123;
print '0.', scalar @array, 'e', length @array, "\n"; # 0.123e3
print 'the length of @array is on the order of ';
print 10 ** (length( @array )-1); # 100
print " elements long\n";

on it.
my @array = <apple orange>;
say @array.elems; # 2
say elems @array; # 2
say + @array; # 2
say @array + 0; # 2
Watch out for infinite/lazy arrays though. You can't get the length of those.

say @infinite[5000]; # 5001
say @infinite.elems; # Throws exception "Cannot .elems a lazy list"

As stated before in the arrays section on this Wiki, there is no functions listed for the manipulation/status of arrays. The best way we can count for length in an array is to have a variable keep track of it.
Example 1:
set "index" to 0
set "$array&index&" to "apple"
inc "index" by 1
set "$array&index&" to "orange"
* "Array length: ('index' + 1)"
Example 2:
set "index" to 0
set "local1" to random 1 to 99
: "rand"
set "array&index&" to random 0 to 99
inc "index" 1
dec "local1" 1
if "local1" > 1 then "rand"
* "Array length: ('index')"
RPL
The SIZE
instruction can be used for arrays (e.g. vectors) and lists. RPL arrays can only contain real or complex numbers, so we will use a list here.
{ "apple" "orange" } SIZE
- Output:

Ruby
puts ['apple', 'orange'].length # or .size
Rust
By default arrays are immutable in rust.
fn main() {
let array = ["foo", "bar", "baz", "biff"];
println!("the array has {} elements", array.len());
}
S-BASIC
Finding the size of an S-BASIC array at run-time is convoluted, to say the least, but it can be done. (It would also generally be pointless, since the size of an array is fixed - and thus presumably known - at compile time.) Each array has an associated data structure (referred to in the documentation as "SPEC") containing information such as the number of dimensions, the size of an array element, the size of each dimension, and so on. The address of the SPEC for an array can be obtained using the LOCATION statement. For a single-dimension array, the number of elements will be found five bytes into the structure, at a point described in the documentation as the "dope vector".
dim string animals(2) rem here is our array
var array_struct_address = integer
based array_size = integer
animals(1) = "ardvark"
animals(2) = "bison"
location spec array_struct_address = animals
base array_size at array_struct_address + 5
print "Size of array ="; array_size
end
- Output:
Size of array = 2
Scala
println(Array("apple", "orange").length)
Scheme
Using Scheme's vector type as an equivalent to an array:

Seed7
The function length determines the length of an array.

const array string: anArray is [] ("apple", "orange");
const proc: main is func
begin
writeln(length(anArray));
end func;

Z80 Assembly
Arrays don't have an "end" as defined by the language, so there are a couple ways to mark the end of an array. One is with a null terminator, and the other is with a pre-defined size byte stored at the beginning. Using a null terminator isn't the best choice for a general-purpose array since it means your array cannot contain that value anywhere except at the end. However, since having the size already determined defeats the purpose of this task, the null-terminator method will be used for this example.
The simplest way to implement an array of variable-length strings is to have the array contain pointers to said strings rather than the strings themselves. That way, the elements of the array are of equal length, which makes any array much easier to work with.
