✨ GOLF(2gg) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the GOLF manual, section 2gg — it's giving Development, it's giving dev tools, and honestly? it's iconic. sit down, grab a boba, we're learning about strings 💖

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

string-length — it lives in the (strings) family, iykyk 🦋

---

🌸 PURPOSE 🌸

Get string length. that's it. that's the whole job. and it ate 💅

---

🧚 SYNTAX 🧚

string-length <string> to <length>

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea: string-length will place the number of bytes in <string> into the number <length>. no cap, that's literally all it does and it does it flawlessly 👑

heads up though bestie — <string> does not need to be null-terminated. which means it can be a binary string or a text string, whichever vibe it's serving. and <length>? that's just the number of bytes comprising any such string. simple. clean. gorgeous. ✨

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

first up — the variable "len" will be 6 🍓:

set-string str = "string"
string-length str to len

and next — the variable "len2" will be 18, because bestie the string has a null character right in the middle of it 😭:

set-string str2 = "string" "\x00 after null"
string-length str2 to len2

see how the null in the middle doesn't trip it up? main character energy fr fr 💅
