Multiplication Table with For loop in R

R Programming: Control Structure Exercise-6 with Solution

Write a R program to print the multiplication table of a given number using a for loop.

Sample Solution :

R Programming Code :

# Define a function to print the multiplication table of a given number
print_multiplication_table <- function(number) {
    # Print the header
    cat("Multiplication table of", number, "is:\n")
    
    # Iterate through numbers from 1 to 10
    for (i in 1:10) {
        # Calculate the product
        product <- number * i
        
        # Print the multiplication table entry
        cat(number, "x", i, "=", product, "\n")
    }
}

# Test the function with an example input
number <- 10  # Example number to print its multiplication table
print_multiplication_table(number)

Output:

Multiplication table of 10 is:
10 x 1 = 10 
10 x 2 = 20 
10 x 3 = 30 
10 x 4 = 40 
10 x 5 = 50 
10 x 6 = 60 
10 x 7 = 70 
10 x 8 = 80 
10 x 9 = 90 
10 x 10 = 100                  

Explatnaion:

In the exercise above,

• The code defines a function named "print_multiplication_table()" using the function() keyword. This function takes one parameter 'number', which represents the number whose multiplication table will be printed.
• Print the header:
• Inside the function, a header message is printed using "cat". This message indicates that the following output represents the multiplication table of the given number.
• Iterate Through Numbers:
• The code uses a for loop to iterate through numbers from 1 to 10 (1:10).
• For each iteration, the loop variable 'i' takes on the values from 1 to 10.
• Calculate the product:
• Within the loop, the product of the given 'number' and the current loop variable 'i' is calculated and stored in a variable named 'product'.
• Print the Multiplication table entry:
• Using 'cat', each entry of the multiplication table is printed in the format "number x i = product", where 'number' is the given number, i is the current iteration value, and 'product' is the calculated product.
• Test the Function:
• Outside the function, an example input 'number' is specified (in this case, number is set to 10).
