Length v0.1.0
Returns the length of the string in bytes.
Package: Text
Signature
func Length(self) -> uint;
Returns
The number of bytes the string holds, and 0 for the empty string.
This counts bytes, not characters: a multi-byte UTF-8 sequence counts once per byte, so the length of a string is not the number of characters a reader would see in it.
Example
import Text::String;
func Main() -> int {
var ascii = String::From("Rux");
ascii.Length(); // 3
var utf8 = String::From("héllo");
utf8.Length(); // 6 -- five characters, six bytes
utf8.Free();
ascii.Free();
return 0;
}
