StringLength

Parameters

s

string

comment

Returns the length of the string in bytes. This means Unicode (non-ASCII) characters will take up and return a higher byte count than there are letters.

Examples (Reforged 2.0.4):

StringLength("a") == 1
StringLength("я") == 2
StringLength("中") == 3
StringLength("😀") == 4

There is no native that returns the number of characters. See StringHash for a byte-based technique that widens each slice until it contains a complete UTF-8 character.

pure

This function is pure. For the same values passed to it, it will always return the same value.
