Compute Sum, Mean, and Product of Vector elements in R

R Programming: Basic Exercise-23 with Solution

Write a R program to compute sum, mean and product of a given vector elements.

Sample Solution :

R Programming Code :

# Create a vector 'nums' with numeric elements
nums = c(10, 20, 30)

# Print a message indicating the original vector
print('Original vector:')

# Print the original vector
print(nums)

# Print the sum of the vector elements
print(paste("Sum of vector elements:", sum(nums)))

# Print the mean (average) of the vector elements
print(paste("Mean of vector elements:", mean(nums)))

# Print the product of the vector elements
print(paste("Product of vector elements:", prod(nums)))

Output:

[1] "Original vector:"
[1] 10 20 30
[1] "Sum of vector elements: 60"
[1] "Mean of vector elements: 20"
[1] "Product of vector elements: 6000"                         

Explanation:

• nums = c(10, 20, 30): Creates a vector nums with elements 10, 20, and 30.
• print('Original vector:'): Prints the label 'Original vector:' to the console.
• print(nums): Displays the contents of the nums vector.
• print(paste("Sum of vector elements:", sum(nums))): Calculates the sum of the elements in nums and prints the result with a label.
• print(paste("Mean of vector elements:", mean(nums))): Calculates the mean (average) of the elements in nums and prints the result with a label.
• print(paste("Product of vector elements:", prod(nums))): Calculates the product of the elements in nums and prints the result with a label.
