Have the counter function in R ?

if we use the software SAS

/*** SAS Code **************************/
data tmp(drop= i);
retain seed x 0;
do i = 1 to 5;
        call ranuni(seed,x);
        output;
end;
run;

data new;
counter=_n_;  ***** this keyword _n_ ****;
set tmp;
run;

/*
_n_ (Automatic variables)
are created automatically by the DATA step or by DATA step statements.
*/

/*** Output ********************************
counter      seed             x
1       584043288                0.27197
2       935902963                0.43581
3       301879523                0.14057
