Creating a vector
A vector is a basic data structure that represents a one-dimensional array. to create a array we use the “c” function which the most common method use in R Programming Language.
R
# R program to create Vectors # we can use the c function # to combine the values as a vector. # By default the type will be double X<- c (61, 4, 21, 67, 89, 2) cat ( 'using c function' , X, '\n' ) # seq() function for creating # a sequence of continuous values. # length.out defines the length of vector. Y<- seq (1, 10, length.out = 5) cat ( 'using seq() function' , Y, '\n' ) # use':' to create a vector # of continuous values. Z<- 2:7 cat ( 'using colon' , Z) |
Output:
using c function 61 4 21 67 89 2
using seq() function 1 3.25 5.5 7.75 10
using colon 2 3 4 5 6 7
R Vectors
R Vectors are the same as the arrays in R language which are used to hold multiple data values of the same type. One major key point is that in R Programming Language the indexing of the vector will start from ‘1’ and not from ‘0’. We can create numeric vectors and character vectors as well.
