R: Length of an Object

len {muStat} | R Documentation

## Length of an Object

### Description

Get the length of vectors (including lists) and factors, and of any other object for which a method has been defined.

### Usage

    len(...)

### Arguments

`...` | object

### Details

len() cannot reset the length of a vector, while length() could.

### Value

For vectors (including lists) and factors the length is the number of elements. For an environment it is the number of objects in the environment, and NULL has length 0. For expressions and pairlists (including language objects and dotlists) it is the length of the pairlist chain. All other objects (including functions) have length one: note that for functions this differs from S.
