How to use length function in Matlab

In Matlab, the length function is used to return the number of elements in a vector, array or string. The following are some usage examples of the length function:

1. Return the number of elements in the vector:

v = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];  
numElements = length(v); % 结果为5

2. Return the number of rows or columns in the matrix:

m = [1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6; 7, 8, 9];  
numRows = length(m); % 结果为3（行数）  
numColumns = length(m(:)); % 结果为3（列数）

3. Return the number of characters in the string:

str = 'Hello, world!';  
numChars = length(str); % 结果为13（字符数）

It should be noted that for non-string type input, the length function returns the number of elements; for string type input, the length function returns is the number of characters.
