R Get Space Allocated for Data Object in Workspace (Example Code)
In this tutorial, I’ll illustrate how to report the space allocated to a data object using the object.size function in R programming.
Example Data
data(iris) # Loading some example data head(iris) # Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa # 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa # 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa # 4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa # 5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa # 6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa |
data(iris) # Loading some example data head(iris) # Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa # 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa # 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa # 4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa # 5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa # 6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa
Example: Get Space Allocated for Data Object Using object.size() Function
object.size(iris) # Return size of example data # 7256 bytes |
object.size(iris) # Return size of example data # 7256 bytes
