Length of R vector

In R, the length of a vector is determined by the number of elements it contains. we can use the length() function to retrieve the length of a vector.

R




# Create a numeric vector
x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
 
# Find the length of the vector
length(x)
# Create a character vector
y <- c("apple", "banana", "cherry")
 
# Find the length of the vector
length(y)
# Create a logical vector
z <- c(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, TRUE)
 
# Find the length of the vector
length(z)


Output:

> length(x)
[1] 5

> length(y)
[1] 3

> length(z)
[1] 4

R Vectors

R Vectors are the same as the arrays in R language which are used to hold multiple data values of the same type. One major key point is that in R Programming Language the indexing of the vector will start from ‘1’ and not from ‘0’. We can create numeric vectors and character vectors as well.
