[R] Newbie needs a count() function

Is there a count() function in R that tells how many
elements of a vector meet a certain criterion?  (Need it for
generating contour plots.)

Currently I use the somewhat cumbersome
count<-length(v[v<7]) to determine, for example, the number
of elements
in v that are <7.  (Note that count<-length(x[v<7]) would
also work,
where x is *any* vector that has the same length as v.)
