<td><p>Returns the total number of characters included in the <b>String</b> as an integer number. </p>

<p>People are often confused by the use of <b>length()</b> to get the size of a String and <b>length</b> to get the size of an array. Notice the absence of the parentheses when working with arrays.</p>
