• Package: Base R (no specific package required)

• Purpose: Returns the number of elements in a vector or the number of components in an object.

• General Class: Utility/Basic

• Required Argument(s):

• x: A vector or an object.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• Example:

• # Example vector
  data <- c(2, 4, 6, 8, 10)
