Question $2$

Let x be a numeric vector and suppose you want to know how many entries of x are strictly less than $5.$ Create a new variable y which is equal to the number of entries of x that are $($strictly$)$ less than $5.$ For example, if

x $=$ c$(-5,7,0,3,14,9,5,10,2,-2,0,12)$

then your variable y should be equal to $6.$ Your code for y must be expressed in terms of x so that for different vectors x the same expression for y will always give the correct answer. To do that, we create a function counts$()$ with input argument x$.$ Within this function you need to create your variable yin terms of x$,$ so that this function returns the right answer for any numeric vector x$.$

Also, within the counts$()$ function, create another variable z which is equal to the number of entries of x that are strictly between $-5$ and $5.$ Like y$,$ the variable z must be expressed in terms of x so that the same expression for z works for various vectors x$.$ The autograder will test your answer for several vectors x$.$

You should have only two lines of code, one for y$,$ one for z$.$ Also, there is no partial credit! $($This is true for each question$).$ If one of the vectors y or z is wrong but the other one correct, you still get $0$ pts$.$
