I have the feeling this might be really dumb.  I am trying to obtain the 
value of a list's length from redis.

It is returning correctly inside the anonymous function (if I console.log 
it), I just can't for the life of me seem to access outside of that 
function.

Here I have set a local variable - len - and tried to assign a value for it 
inside the function.

I wouldn't expect it to work like this, because I should set a global 
variable len instead.

The strange thing is that neither approach works.  Even if the global 
variable did the trick, it seems remiss to be using a global variable for 
something so trivial.

Any ideas on a solution?  Here is my code:

var len = 0
redis.llen("chatRecord", function (err, length) {
            log('length from llen is: ' + length)
len = length
        });
