strlen.info | Calculate the length of a string!

I got tired of typing:

php -r 'echo strlen("<PASTE>");'
So I made this site.

strlen is a standardised computer programming function commonly used to determine the length of a string. The term length of a string is used in C to describe the number of bytes preceding the zero byte. It is important to note that a string uses one more unit of memory than this length, in order to store the null value that ends the string.

  return 0;
}
Result: 42

Java

  public static void main (String[] args) {
    String s="This string contains exactly 42 characters"
    System.out.println(s.length());
  }
}
Result: 42

LUA
