**`String.length`** is a property in Kotlin that is used to find the length of a string.



#      
## Syntax
```
String.length
```
## Return value
The function returns an integer value, i.e., the number of characters in `String`.


## Example
Let's look at an example. In the code below, we create two strings, `str1` and `str2`. We then use the `length` function in *line 5* and *line 11* to display the lengths of the strings. 

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    // Example 1
    val str1 = "Educative"
    print("The length of " + str1 + " is ")
    print(str1.length)
    print("\n")

    // Example 2
    val str2 = "Edpresso"
    print("The length of " + str2 + " is ")
    print(str2.length)
    print("\n")
}
