Tutorial by Examples

Let's take an example of adding a value to a range (as it could be done in a loop for example): 3+1:5 Gives: [1] 4 5 6 7 8 This is because the range operator : has higher precedence than addition operator +. What happens during evaluation is as follows: 3+1:5 3+c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) expansio...

The basic math operations are performed mainly on numbers or on vectors (lists of numbers). 1. Using single numbers We can simple enter the numbers concatenated with + for adding and - for subtracting: > 3 + 4.5 # [1] 7.5 > 3 + 4.5 + 2 # [1] 9.5 > 3 + 4.5 + 2 - 3.8 # [1] 5.7 >...
