JavaScript JavaScript Foundations Arrays Methods: Part 2

I don't remember how to get the length of each array. I hate the fact there is no hints in these things.

In this one they want you to find the length of the strings in the array, like this:

      saying2.sort(function(a, b) {
        return a.length - b.length
      });

I love it and hate at the same time, as soon as I see the answer I always find my self saying "Duh.." that makes sense.

Thank you for the help.
