## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
You can find the length of a <code>String</code> value by writing <code>.length</code> after the string variable or string literal.
|
|
<code>"Alan Peter".length; // 10</code>
|
|
For example, if we created a variable <code>var firstName = "Charles"</code>, we could find out how long the string <code>"Charles"</code> is by using the <code>firstName.length</code> property.

|
## Instructions
|
|
<section id='instructions'>
|
|
Use the <code>.length</code> property to count the number of characters in the <code>lastName</code> variable and assign it to <code>lastNameLength</code>.

|
|
- text: <code>lastNameLength</code> should be equal to eight.
|
|
testString: assert(typeof lastNameLength !== 'undefined' && lastNameLength === 8);
|
|
- text: 'You should be getting the length of <code>lastName</code> by using <code>.length</code> like this: <code>lastName.length</code>.'
|
|
testString: assert(code.match(/=\s*lastName\.length/g) && !code.match(/lastName\s*=\s*8/));
