{{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]].

'''Interpreter:''' ANS Forth

Strings in Forth come in two forms, neither of which are the null-terminated form commonly used in the C standard library.

===Counted string===
A counted string is a single pointer to a short string in memory. The string's first byte is the count of the number of characters in the string. This is how symbols are stored in a Forth dictionary.

CREATE s ," Hello world" \ create string "s"
s C@ ( -- length=11 )

===Stack string===
A string on the stack is represented by a pair of cells: the address of the string data and the length of the string data (in characters). The word '''COUNT''' converts a counted string into a stack string. The STRING utility wordset of ANS Forth works on these addr-len pairs. This representation has the advantages of not requiring null-termination, easy representation of substrings, and not being limited to 255 characters.

==[[IDL]]==
[[Category:IDL]]

'''Compiler:''' any IDL compiler should do

length = strlen("Hello, world!")

==[[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.

==[[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);
