Nearly went for 10 since that's the default for GNU head/tail command line tools...glad I checked the R docs.
From OpenGroup, doc for head and tail.

I would have thought 10 as well. This is a strange choice to me, but it is what it is.

Heh... no trip up for me and no real thinking. Training from the Navy helped a lot... "If you don't see something familiar or you don't have a clue about the question and the answers don't include [none of the above] or [all of the above], then the answers is [C]." 😀

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
