=head1 String Operations (continued)

To find the length of a string in PIR, use the length opcode. It works on
any variable containing a basic Parrot string, but not the String PMC.
C<length> returns an integer value, and 0 means an empty string.

    $S0 = "Hello"
    $I0 = length $S0
    say $I0

    .local string text
    text = "longer string"
    $I1 = length text
    say $I1
