{{task}}

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

For character length, see [[String Character Length]].

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)}

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

#include <string.h>

}

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>

size_t length = sizeof s - 1;
return 0;
}

// In bytes same as above since sizeof(char) == 1
std::string::size_type bytes = s.length() * sizeof(std::string::value_type);
}

For wide character strings:

#include <string>

{
std::wstring s = L"\u304A\u306F\u3088\u3046";
std::wstring::size_type length = s.length() * sizeof(std::wstring::value_type); // in bytes

int clength = s.Length; // In characters
int blength = System.Text.Encoding.GetBytes(s).length; // In Bytes.

==[[Clean]]==

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]]==
[[Category:Java]]

Java encodes strings in UTF-16, which represents each character with one or two 16-bit values. The length method of String objects returns the number of 16-bit values used to encode a string, so the number of bytes can be determined by doubling that number.

String s = "Hello, world!";
int byteCount = s.length() * 2;

An other way to know the byte length of a string is to explicitly specify the charset we desire.

String s = "Hello, world!";
int byteCountUTF16 = s.getByte("UTF-16").length;
int byteCountUTF8 = s.getByte("UTF-8").length;

==[[JavaScript]]==
[[Category:JavaScript]]

JavaScript encodes strings in UTF-16, which represents each character with one or two 16-bit values. The length property of string objects gives the number of 16-bit values used to encode a string, so the number of bytes can be determined by doubling that number.

var s = "Hello, world!";
var byteCount = s.length * 2; //26

==[[JudoScript]]==

//Store length of hello world in length and print it

==[[Perl]]==
[[Category:Perl]]
'''Interpreter:''' [[perl]] 5.8

Strings in Perl consist of characters. Measuring the byte length therefore requires conversion to some binary representation (called encoding, both noun and verb).

use utf8; # so we can use literal characters like ☺ in source
use Encode qw(encode);
print length encode 'UTF-8', "Hello, world! ☺";
# 17. The last character takes 3 bytes, the others 1 byte each.
print length encode 'UTF-16', "Hello, world! ☺";
# 32. 2 bytes for the BOM, then 15 byte pairs for each character.

==[[PHP]]==
[[Category:PHP]]

$length = strlen('Hello, world!');

==[[PL/SQL|PL/SQL]]==
[[Category:PL/SQL|PL/SQL]]

DECLARE
string VARCHAR2( 50 ) := 'Hello, world!';
stringlength NUMBER;
BEGIN
stringlength := length( string );
END;

==[[Pop11]]==
[[Category:Pop11]]

Currently Pop11 supports only strings consisting of 1-byte units.
Strings can carry arbitrary binary data, so user can for example
use UTF-8 (however builtin procedures will treat each byte as
a single character). The length function for strings returns
length in bytes:

lvars str = 'Hello, world!';
lvars len = length(str);
