#' Cell area at a given resolution
#'
#' Returns the area of a single cell in square metres at the given
#' resolution(s). Because A5 is an equal-area DGGS, all cells at the same
#' resolution have identical area.
#'
#' @param resolution Integer vector of resolutions (0--30).
#' @param units Character scalar specifying the output area unit (default
#'   `"m^2"`). Any unit convertible from `m^2` via [units::set_units()] is
#'   accepted (e.g. `"km^2"`, `"ha"`, `"acre"`).  If NULL, the area is
#'   returned as a numeric vector in m^2.
#' @returns A [units::units] vector of areas.
#'
#' @export
#' @examples
#' a5_cell_area(0:5)
#' a5_cell_area(5, units = "km^2")

#' Total number of cells at a given resolution
#'
#' @param resolution Integer scalar resolution (0--30).
#' @returns A numeric scalar (double) giving the total count. Returned as
#'   double because the count can exceed R's integer range.

#' Number of children between two resolutions
#'
#' Returns the number of child cells each parent cell contains when
#' expanding from one resolution to another.
#'
#' @param parent_resolution Integer scalar (0--30).
#' @param child_resolution Integer scalar (0--30), must be >=
#'   `parent_resolution`.
#' @returns A numeric scalar. Returned as double because the count can
#'   exceed R's integer range at large resolution deltas.
