R Program to take user input and displays the values with R version

R Programming: Basic Exercise-1 with Solution

Write a R program to take input from the user (name and age) and display the values. Also print the version of R installation.

Sample Solution :

R Programming Code :

# Read name from user input
name <- readline(prompt = "Input your name: ")

# Read age from user input
age <- readline(prompt = "Input your age: ")

# Print the formatted output
print(paste("My name is", name, "and I am", age, "years old."))

# Print the R version string
print(R.version.string)

Output:

> name <- readline(prompt = "Input your name: ")
Input your name: Trefor Renat
> age <- readline(prompt = "Input your age: ")
Input your age: 25
> # Print the formatted output
> print(paste("My name is", name, "and I am", age, "years old."))
[1] "My name is Trefor Renat and I am 25 years old."
> print(R.version.string)
[1] "R version 4.4.1 (2024-06-14 ucrt)"                

Explanation:

• name <- readline(prompt = "Input your name: ")
• Reads input from the user and assigns it to the variable name.
• The prompt "Input your name: " is displayed to the user to indicate what kind of input is expected.
• age <- readline(prompt = "Input your age: ")
• Reads input from the user and assigns it to the variable age.
• The prompt "Input your age: " is displayed to the user to ask for their age.
• print(paste("My name is", name, "and I am", age, "years old."))
• Uses the paste function to concatenate strings and variables into a single formatted sentence: "My name is [name] and I am [age] years old."
• The print function displays this concatenated string in the console.
• print(R.version.string)
