# flatc

Type: | - | function (subr)
Source: | - | xlfio.c, xlprin.c

## Syntax

(flatc expr)
  expr - an expression
  returns - the length

## Description

The 'flatc' function determines the character length that would be printed if the 'expr' were printed using princ. This means that the 'expr' would be printed without a new-line. If 'expr' is a string, it would not be printed with quotes around the string. The print character length is returned as the result.

## Examples

    (flatc 1234)          ; returns 4
    (flatc '(a b c))      ; returns 7
    (flatc "abcd")        ; returns 4
    (flatc 'mybigsymbol)  ; returns 11

See the flatc function in the XLISP 2.0 manual.
