table()

table(x) counts how many times each distinct value appears in a vector, producing a frequency table. It's the quickest way to summarize categorical data. Passing two vectors, table(x, y), produces a cross-tabulation counting combinations of both.

Note: table() is the fastest way to check the distribution of values in a categorical column before deeper analysis.

Example: table()

markup

colors <- c("red", "blue", "red", "green", "blue", "red")

print(table(colors))
