#### Get length: `strlen` #### Get length: `strlen`
`strlen` (from 'string length') will return an integer value corresponding to the length of the string. In this example, an integer called `string_length` will be assigned the length of `my_string`: `strlen` (from 'string length') will return an integer value corresponding to the length of the string. Even though all strings are terminated with a \0 character, it will not be included in the count (so the length "hello" is indeed 5 and not 6). In this example, an integer called `string_length` will be assigned the length of `my_string`:
```C ```C
string_length = strlen(my_string); string_length = strlen(my_string);
``` ```
