# head function

# Calling the head() function to 
# get the iris demo dataset
head(iris)
Output:
  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 2: Python3
# R program to illustrate

# Calling the head() function to 
# get the iris demo dataset in
# 4 rows
head(iris, 4)
Output:
  Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
