length (Matlab function) Length of largest array dimension

## Matlab/Scilab equivalent

Matlab | Scilab
    length(A)
    max(size(A))

## Particular cases

If A contains character strings, String matrix has to be converted to a "character" string matrix using mstr2sci (Using asciimat to convert will give the same result).

Scilab length() is different from Matlab's length function.
