ALEN() - array.length - VFP to Servoy Code Reference

ALEN() - array.length

Returns the number of elements in the array. In Visual FoxPro the ALEN function can also return the number of rows or columns in a two-dimensional array.

VFP code example

DIMENSION myArray(2,3) && create an array of 2 rows and 3 columns
? ALEN(myArray)           && returns 6 (2*3 elements)
? ALEN(myArray,1)         && returns 2 (rows)
? ALEN(myArray,2)         && returns 3 (columns)

Servoy code example

var myArray = new Array(2);       // array with 2 elements
myArray = ['a', 'b']
application.output(myArray[0])    // returns a ZERO-BASED!
application.output(myArray[1])    // returns b

application.output(myArray.length) // returns 2
