RCourse Lecture4 Calculations

This document provides an introduction to basic calculations in R software. It discusses using R as a calculator to perform arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on vectors. Functions like c() are used to combine numbers into a vector. Operators like +, -, *, /, ^ can be applied to both scalars and vectors, but care must be taken when vectors have unequal lengths to avoid errors. Comments are denoted with # and ignore all text after it on a line.

> is the prompt sign in R.

The assignment operators are the left arrow with dash <- and equal sign =.

> x <- 20 assigns the value 20 to x.

> x = 20 assigns the value 20 to x.

Initially only <- was available in R.

> x = 20 assigns the value 20 to x.

> y = x * 2 assigns the value 2*x to y.

> z = x + y assigns the value x + y to z.

# : The character # marks the beginning of a comment. All characters until

the end of the line are ignored.

> # mu is the mean

> # x <- 20 is treated as comment only

Basics
Capital and small letters are different.

> X <- 20 and > x <- 20 are different
