length -package:bytestring -package:utf8-string -package:vector

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 *
O(n) Returns the number of characters in a Text.
O(n) Returns the number of characters in a Stream. Properties
length . stream = length
O(n) Returns the number of characters in a text.
O(n) Returns the number of characters in a Text.
The number of elements in the sequence.

Run a stream, keeping its length and its return value.
>>> S.print $ mapped S.length $ chunksOf 3 $ S.each [1..10]

O(1) length returns the length of a ByteString as an Int.
O(n/c) length returns the length of a ByteString as an Int64
Returns the size/length of a finite structure as an Int. The default implementation is optimized for structures that are similar to cons-lists, because there is no general way to do better.
O(n) Returns the number of characters in a Text. Subject to fusion.
O(n) Returns the number of characters in a Text. Subject to fusion.
