The length of a vector means the total number of elements present in a given vector.
In R, we can use the length()
function to find the total number of elements present in a vector.
Example: Length of a Vector in R Using length()
# create a vector
languages <- c("R", "Swift", "Java", "Python")
# find length of languages vector
length(languages) # 4
# create another vector
numbers <- c(1,5,7,9,12,54)
# find length of numbers vector
length(numbers) # 6
Output
[1] 4
[1] 6
In the above example, we have used the length()
function to find the length of the vector named languages and numbers respectively.
Since
- languages contain 4 elements, the function 4.
- numbers contain 6 elements, the function 6.
Example 2: Length of a String in R Using str_length()
In order to use the str_length()
function, we first import the stringr
package.
# import stringr package
library(stringr)
string1 <- "Programiz"
# use str_length() of stringr package to find length
result <- str_length(string1)
cat("Total length:", result)
Output
Total length: 9
Here, we have used the str_length()
function provided by the stringr
package to find the length of string1.
