Get String Length with Javascript

To get string length with Javascript:

ko="I will count this string now!";

ji=ko.length;

document.write(ji);

Which Prints:
29


-We create a variable and named it ko because we like short names.
-We created a new variable and named it ji.
-We used Javascript's built-in length method on ko and stored it's value in ji.
-We printed to the brower using Javascript's document.write.


If you wanted to be showy, you could shorten this code like so:

ji="I will count this string now!" .length;

document.write(ji);

Which Prints:
29

-Here, we just applied Javascript's built-in length method directly to the string we wanted a count on.
-Stored it in ji and printed.


Free Copy and Paste Javascript Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

ko="I will count this string now!";
ji=ko.length;
document.write(ji);

ji="NO, I will count THIS string now!" .length;
document.write(ji);

-->
</script>
