nmax parameter in factor function
...and sometimes you just apparently get the nmax
argument ignored:
> identical(factor(letters,nmax = 25), factor(letters,nmax=26))
[1] TRUE
and that, to paraphrase what Roger Hammerstein said about Kansas City,
is about "as fer as I can go."

nmax parameter in factor function
I have been trying to understand how the argument 'nmax' works in
'factor' function. R-Documentation states - "Since factors typically
have quite a small number of levels, for large vectors x it is helpful
to supply nmax as an upper bound on the number of unique values."
In the code below what is the reason for error when value of nmax is
24. Why did the same error not
