<code>(Acl2-count x)</code> returns a nonnegative integer that indicates the
``size'' of its argument <code>x</code>.
<p>
All <a href="CHARACTERS.html">characters</a> and symbols have <code>acl2-count 0</code>. The <code>acl2-count</code> of a
string is the number of <a href="CHARACTERS.html">characters</a> in it, i.e., its length. The
<code>acl2-count</code> of a <code><a href="CONS.html">cons</a></code> is one greater than the sum of the <code>acl2-count</code>s
of the <code><a href="CAR.html">car</a></code> and <code><a href="CDR.html">cdr</a></code>. The <code>acl2-count</code> of an integer is its absolute
value. The <code>acl2-count</code> of a rational is the sum of the <code>acl2-count</code>s
of the numerator and denominator. The <code>acl2-count</code> of a complex
rational is one greater than the sum of the <code>acl2-count</code>s of the real
and imaginary parts.
