Examples

## description example
lst = list(1:2, 1:2)

## Using base R
t = expand.grid(lst)
nrow(t)
#> [1] 4

## vs calling expandGridCount directly
expandGridCount(lst)
#> [1] 4

## Call it just like you would if you were generating the results
expandGridCount(1:5, 3:9, letters[1:5], letters[c(1,4,5,8)])
#> [1] 700

## Same as
nrow(expand.grid(1:5, 3:9, letters[1:5], letters[c(1,4,5,8)]))
#> [1] 700

lst = Map(function(x, y) x:y, 8:33, 15:40)

## Return object of class 'bigz'
expandGridCount(lst)
#> Big Integer ('bigz') :
#> [1] 302231454903657293676544
