## Overview
A **factor** in R is used to categorize a given data.
The **length** of a factor in R is the number of items present in the factor. 

To obtain the length or number of items present in a factor, we use the `length()` function.

## Syntax
```
length(factor)
```
## Parameter value
The `length()` function takes the factor object as its single parameter value.
## Return value
The `length()` function returns the length of a given factor.
## Code example


# creating a factor object
Height <- factor(c("Tall", "Average", "Short", "Tall"))

# implementing the length() function 
length(Height)

## Code explanation 
* Line 2: We create a factor object `Height` using the `factor()` function.
* Line 5: We obtain the number of items in the factor `Height` using the `length()` function.
