# sliceLength
> Compute the number of elements in a [normalized slice][@stdlib/slice/base/normalize-slice].
## Usage
```javascript
var sliceLength = require( '@stdlib/slice/base/length' );
```
#### sliceLength( slice )
Returns the number of elements in a [normalized slice][@stdlib/slice/base/normalize-slice].
```javascript
var Slice = require( '@stdlib/slice/ctor' );
var normalizeSlice = require( '@stdlib/slice/base/normalize-slice' );
var s = normalizeSlice( new Slice( -3, null, -1 ), 10, false );
// returns
var len = sliceLength( s );
// returns 8
```
## Examples
```javascript
var Slice = require( '@stdlib/slice/ctor' );
var normalizeSlice = require( '@stdlib/slice/base/normalize-slice' );
var incrspace = require( '@stdlib/array/base/incrspace' );

var s1 = new Slice( 2, null, -1 );
var s2 = normalizeSlice( s1, 10, false );
var v = sliceLength( s2 );
console.log( '%s => %s => %d', s1.toString(), s2.toString(), v );
console.log( '[ %s ]', incrspace( s2.start, s2.stop || -1, s2.step ).join( ', ' ) );
// => '[ 2, 1, 0 ]'
