## Syntax

```
## Parameters

- **`x`**: This represents the R object whose class attribute is to be determined.

## Return value

## Example
Let's look at the code below:


# creating R objects
mydate <- as.Date('2015-03-12')
myfunction <- function(x) { x*x} 
myname <- "Theo"
mydf <- data.frame(c1=1:2, c2=letters[1:2])


# getting their class attributes using the class() function 
class(mydate)
class(myfunction)
class(myname)
class(mydf)

## Explanation
In the code above:

- **Lines 2 to 5**: We create different R objects.
- **Lines 9 to 12**: We obtain the class attributes of the R objects we created using the `class()` function.
