It turns out there's a new function strlen S-T-R-L-E-N that you probably have not used yet called strlen, S-T-R-L-E-N, programmers early on and still like to be succinct but communicates sufficiently what they mean.

结果这里有个新的函数,你可能没有使用过，叫做，早期的和现在的程序员喜欢简洁地,但是能充分的传达他们的意思。

I certainly don't want to assume they're always going to type a three-letter or a four-letter or a two-letter word I want some dynamism but that's fine because get string can get a string of any length, I can then use the string length function to just ask while the program is running how big is the string that I was handed?

当然我不能假设他总是,输入3个字符或4个字符,或2个字符的单词，我想要动态地分配,因为GetString可以获得任意长度的字符串，然后我可以使用strlen函数,来得到那个我传递的字符串,有多长？
