\title{Cardinalities for neighbours lists}
\description{
The function tallies the numbers of neighbours of regions in the neighbours
list.
}
\usage{
card(nb)
}
\arguments{
\item{nb}{a neighbours list object of class \code{nb}}
}
\value{
An integer vector of the numbers of neighbours of regions in the neighbours
list.
}
\details{\dQuote{nb} objects are stored as lists of integer vectors, where the vectors contain either the indices in the range \code{1:n} for \code{n} as {length(nb)} of the neighbours of region \code{i}, or \code{as.integer(0)} to signal no neighbours. The function \code{card(nb)} is used to extract the numbers of neighbours from the \dQuote{nb} object.}
