## 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>.
