I found two ways to determine how many elements are in a variable… I always get the same values for len () and size (). Is there a difference? Could size () have come with an imported library (like...

The C standard guarantees that SIZE_MAX will be at least 65535. size_t is the type returned by sizeof operator, and is used in the standard library (for example strlen returns size_t).

From the friendly Wikipedia: The stdlib.h and stddef.h header files define a datatype called size_t which is used to represent the size of an object. Library functions that take sizes expect them to be of type size_t, and the sizeof operator evaluates to size_t. The actual type of size_t is platform-dependent; a common mistake is to assume size_t is the same as unsigned int, which can lead to ...

Why is the size of a character sizeof('a') different in C and C++?
