R Programming: Create a 5 × 4 matrix, 3 × 3 matrix with labels and fill the matrix by rows and 2 × 2 matrix with labels and fill the matrix by columns

R Programming: Basic Exercise-16 with Solution

Write a R program to create a 5 × 4 matrix , 3 × 3 matrix with labels and fill the matrix by rows and 2 × 2 matrix with labels and fill the matrix by columns.

Sample Solution :

R Programming Code :

m1 = matrix(1:20, nrow=5, ncol=4)
print("5 × 4 matrix:")
print(m1)
cells = c(1,3,5,7,8,9,11,12,14)
rnames = c("Row1", "Row2", "Row3")
cnames = c("Col1", "Col2", "Col3")
m2 = matrix(cells, nrow=3, ncol=3, byrow=TRUE, dimnames=list(rnames, cnames))
print("3 × 3 matrix with labels, filled by rows: ")
print(m2)
print("3 × 3 matrix with labels, filled by columns: ")
m3 = matrix(cells, nrow=3, ncol=3, byrow=FALSE, dimnames=list(rnames, cnames))
print(m3)

Sample Output:

[1] "5 × 4 matrix:"
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,]    1    6   11   16
[2,]    2    7   12   17
[3,]    3    8   13   18
[4,]    4    9   14   19
[5,]    5   10   15   20
[1] "3 × 3 matrix with labels, filled by rows: "
     Col1 Col2 Col3
Row1    1    3    5
Row2    7    8    9
Row3   11   12   14
[1] "3 × 3 matrix with labels, filled by columns: "
     Col1 Col2 Col3
Row1    1    7   11
Row2    3    8   12
Row3    5    9   14
