count array elements

what is the easiest way to count array elements.

I'm a php programmer, so I'm searching for something like a count($array) function.

Hi,

Thank you for your enquiry.

You can count the elements of an array using the length command. For example:

Code:

myArray = new Array(1,5,2,4,3)
len = myArray.length

In this example, 'len' will equal 5 (as there are 5 elements in the array).

Kind regards,

Hello Robin,

Thanks for the quick answer. I tried .length, but not hard enough i see :-)

Thought .lenght was only for strings.
