General
1

If i am making a function in R and i want to print how many character i have entered into an argument, please tell me how to make this function. Just to simply calculate and print the total number of characters are there in my argument or in my input

I believe what you're looking for is nchar:

f <- function(x) {
    nchar(x)
}

f("apple")
