{{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]].

Ad hoc program from command line:

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]]==

'''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.

stringlength NUMBER;

stringlength := length( string );

==[[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);
