Hello

Let's assume, that we have a string array : string[] sa;

I fill up the array with random strings with random lengths.

I want to know how much space it occupies in memory.

I could go over the string array using a for loop, then another loop for each character, and then sum up char.sizeof. But this would be very slow and inefficient.

Is there a better way? I want a method that works for every variable type including classes and objects.

Thank you

Perhaps, use length property of string. It should tell you length of a string and then you multiply it by size of char.

may be std.string.representation() may help?

byteSize = representation(myString).length;
