Number of elements in Word list

Hello everyone,
can anyone let me know if there is a way to get the count of elements in a word list that I use for a for loop in the way:
for single_result in $results ; do .......
I know I can increment a counter in my for loop, but would there be a way to know the total number of elements in the list without even starting the loop ?
Hope you can help.
Thanks.
