GetLongLengthint

GetLongLengthint is a programming function described in some language references as a means to obtain the length of a container, string, or similar object, represented as a long integer. The name suggests a focus on returning a 64-bit length to support very large inputs or collections beyond the range of standard 32-bit integers.

In typical usage, GetLongLengthint accepts a single parameter that represents the object whose length is desired. The parameter may be an array, a collection, or a string. The exact types supported depend on the language or library, and some implementations may require the object to expose a defined length property or interface.

Return value and behavior: the function returns a long integer indicating the number of elements or characters in the input. For strings, it yields the number of characters; for arrays or collections, it yields the element count. If the operation is not applicable to the provided input (for example, an unsupported type or a null value), implementations vary and may throw exceptions or return a special value as defined by the specific language reference.

Notes: GetLongLengthint is not a universally standard function and may appear only in vendor-specific libraries or illustrative documentation. Developers should consult their language or library reference for exact semantics, parameter types, and error handling.
