nrow {BiocGenerics}R Documentation

The number of rows/columns of an array-like object

Description

Return the number of rows or columns present in an array-like R object.

NOTE: This man page is for the nrow, ncol, NROW and NCOL S4 generic functions defined in the BiocGenerics package. See ?base::nrow for the default methods (defined in the base package). Bioconductor packages can define specific methods for objects (typically matrix- or array-like) not supported by the default methods.

Usage

nrow(x)
ncol(x)
NROW(x)
NCOL(x)

Arguments

x

A matrix- or array-like R object.

Value

A single integer or NULL.

Specific methods defined in other Bioconductor packages should behave as consistently as possible with the default methods.
