% CPSC-FUNCTION-LENGTH(7)

# NAME

cpsc-function-length - find a string's length

# SYNOPSIS

```text
LENGTH(text : STRING) RETURNS INTEGER
```

# DESCRIPTION

Provided by the standard string library, loaded and linked by default.

Return the number of bytes in the owning string, including embedded NUL bytes. String operations are byte-based, so this is not a Unicode character count.

# EXAMPLE

```text
OUTPUT LENGTH("Hello")
```
