<p>
The length operator is denoted by the unary prefix operator <code>#</code>.
+
+
+<p>
The length of a string is its number of bytes
(that is, the usual meaning of string length when each
character is one byte).
<p>
+The length operator applied on a table
+returns a border in that table.
+A <em>border</em> in a table <code>t</code> is any natural number
+that satisfies the following condition:
+
+<pre>
+ (border == 0 or t[border] ~= nil) and t[border + 1] == nil
+</pre><p>
+In words,
+a border is any (natural) index in a table
+where a non-nil value is followed by a nil value
+(or zero, when index 1 is nil).
+
+
+<p>
+A table with exactly one border is called a <em>sequence</em>.
+For instance, the table <code>{10, 20, 30, 40, 50}</code> is a sequence,
+as it has only one border (5).
+The table <code>{10, 20, 30, nil, 50}</code> has two borders (3 and 5),
+and therefore it is not a sequence.
+The table <code>{nil, 20, 30, nil, nil, 60, nil}</code>
+has three borders (0, 3, and 6),
+so it is not a sequence, too.
+The table <code>{}</code> is a sequence with border 0.
+Note that non-natural keys do not interfere
+with whether a table is a sequence.
+
+
+<p>
+When <code>t</code> is a sequence,
+<code>#t</code> returns its only border,
+which corresponds to the intuitive notion of the length of the sequence.
+When <code>t</code> is not a sequence,
+<code>#t</code> can return any of its borders.
+(The exact one depends on details of
+the internal representation of the table,
+which in turn can depend on how the table was populated and
+the memory addresses of its non-numeric keys.)
+
+
+<p>
+The computation of the length of a table
+has a guaranteed worst time of <em>O(log n)</em>,
+where <em>n</em> is the largest natural key in the table.
+
+
+<p>
A program can modify the behavior of the length operator for
any value but strings through the <code>__len</code> metamethod (see <a href="#2.4">§2.4</a>).
