Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but is there a word for the amount of meaningful data in an array? "Size" or "width", to me, tends to mean the amount of memory allocated to the array but has no relavance to the amount of meaningful data inside. (Am I totally wrong here)? I have been using "population", but this doesn't seem quite right, and is quite confusing when programming genetic algorithms.

How about elements or records?
