This is the "count" function of the DeQue (double-ended queue) function package. It returns the number of items in the specified DeQue. See DQ_New() for a complete description.

Typical usage scenario:

Set Variable [ $myDeque ; DQ_New ( "apple " ) ]
Set Variable [ $dummy ; DQ_Push ( $myDeque ; "banana" ) ]
Set Variable [ $dummy ; DQ_Put ( $myDeque ; "kumquat" ) ]
Set Variable ( $count ; DQ_Count ( $myDeque ) ] // $count = 3
