How do I count the number of elements in an array using a bash shell script?

[shoebill]

Usage is ${#name[*]}

or ${#name[@]}

Define an array and count the number of elements in the array.

declare -A MyBucketList
MyBucketList=([1]="See The Grand Canyon" [2]="Go to Mars" [3]="Climb Mount Everest")
echo ${#MyBucketList[*]}

Running this script give the following results.

$ ./associative_array.sh
