Get all but the last item in an R list

Question

x <- list("item one", "item two", "item three")

If I wanted to select all but the last item in Python, I would use x[:-1]. How do I do this in R?

x[-length(x)] # or 
head(x, -1)

We can tell R to take one less than the length of the entire vector: x[1:length(x)-1]
