length()

Usage:
length(x), x a vector, matrix, or array or any other type of variable.



Keywords: variables, null variables
length(x) computes the total number of elements in the vector, matrix,
or array x.  The value of length(x) is prod(dim(x)).

If x is a NULL variable, length(x) = 0.

If x is a GRAPH variable or a macro, length(x) = 1.

If x is a structure, length(x) is a structure.  If xi is component i of
x, the component i of length(x) has the same component name and value
length(xi).
