newbie: TSQL command for number of rows ?

I couldnt find on google a command to get the number of rows in a table.
Any suggestions ?
TIA

--|||Use the TOP statement
Example:
USE NORTHWIND
GO
Select TOP 5 From Orders
But remember that TOP is also recommended with the use of order because the
TOP clause will produce an unpredictable subset of n-Rows.
