Objective - Introduction to vector in R programming.

In R programming, a vector is a fundamental data structure used to store a


sequence of elements of the same data type, such as numeric, character, or logical
values. Vectors are created using the c() function, which stands for combine,
allowing you to concatenate elements into a single vector. For example,
numbers <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) creates a numeric vector. R automatically converts
elements to a common type if mixed types are combined. For instance, mixing
numeric and character elements will result in all elements being converted to
characters. This strict data type consistency is essential for efficient data
manipulation and computation. Vectors are widely used in R for calculations,
statistical analysis, and data manipulation, serving as building blocks for more
complex data structures like matrices, data frames, and lists.

Vectors in R are indexed starting from 1, unlike many other programming


languages that use zero-based indexing. This means the first element of a vector
is accessed using the index 1, such as numbers[1], which would return 1 in the
previous example. R supports vectorized operations, allowing arithmetic or
logical operations to be applied to each element automatically. For example,
adding two vectors of the same length adds their corresponding elements.
Subsetting vectors is done using square brackets, like numbers[2:4] to extract the
second to fourth elements. R provides various built-in functions for vector
manipulation, including length() to find the number of elements, sum() to
calculate the total of numeric elements, and sort() to arrange them in ascending
or descending order. These features make vectors powerful and versatile tools for
data analysis in R.
