length

length( 
laot_arg 
) 
=> x_result / 0

Determines the length of a list, array, association table, or string.

The time taken to compute the length depends on the type of object. For example,

List	Time taken to compute the length of a list is proportional to the number of items in the list.
Array	Time taken to compute the length of an array is constant.
Association table	Time taken to compute the length of an association table is constant.
String	Time taken to compute the length of a string is proportional to the number of characters in the string.

laot_arg

SKILL list, array, association table, or string.

x_result	Length of the laot_arg object. (The length is either the number of elements in the list, string, or array or the number of key/value pairs in the association table).
`0`	laot_arg is `nil` or an empty array or table.
