How do I find the length of an array?

Question

Is there a way to find how many values an array has? Detecting whether or not I\'ve reached the end of an array would also work.

There's also the TR1/C++11/C++17 way (see it Live on Coliru):

const std::string s[3] = { "1"s, "2"s, "3"s };
constexpr auto n       = std::extent<   decltype(s) >::value; // From 
constexpr auto n2      = std::extent_v< decltype(s) >;        // C++17 shorthand

const auto     a    = std::array{ "1"s, "2"s, "3"s };   // C++17 class template arg deduction -- http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/class_template_argument_deduction
constexpr auto size = std::tuple_size_v< decltype(a) >;

std::cout << n << " " << n2 << " " << size << "\n"; // Prints 3 3 3
