String Length can be defined as a total number of Java Character present in a string object. For example, the string length of "Note Book" is 9 including the space character.

Methods used to obtain information about an object are known as accessor methods. One such accessor method is length() method, which returns the number of characters contained in the String object.
String Length
class StringLengthTest
{
    public static void main(String arg[])
    {
        String place = "Hyderabad";
        int length = place.length(); // LINE A
        System.out.println("String Length of " + place + " is : " + length);
        
        String welcome = "Welcome to Merit Campus";
        for (int i = 0; i < welcome.length(); i++) // LINE B
        {
            System.out.print(welcome.charAt(i));
        }    
    }
}
