length -package:bytestring -package:text -package:pipes
Returns the size/length of a finite structure as an
Int. The
default implementation just counts elements starting with the
leftmost. Instances for structures that can compute the element count
faster than via element-by-element counting, should provide a
specialised implementation.
Examples
Basic usage:
>>> length []
0
>>> length ['a', 'b', 'c']
3
>>> length [1..]

length returns the length of a finite list as an
Int. It is an instance of the more general
genericLength, the result type of which may be any kind of
number.
>>> length []
0
>>> length ['a', 'b', 'c']
3
>>> length [1..]
* Hangs forever *

Counts the number of characters encoded in the bytestring. Note that
this includes replacement characters. The function is linear in the
number of bytes in the representation.
