length -package:bytestring -package:utf8-string

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..]
* Hangs forever *
Number of elements in NonEmpty list.
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 *
