R Programming: Create a Vector and find its Length and Dimension

R Programming: Vector Exercise-24 with Solution

Write a R program to create a vector and find the length and the dimension of the vector.

Sample Solution :

R Programming Code :

# Create a vector 'v' with the elements 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9
v = c(1, 3, 5, 7, 9)

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

# Print the content of the vector 'v'
print(v)

# Print a message indicating the dimension of the vector
print("Dimension of the vector:")

# Print the dimension of the vector 'v' (returns NULL for a 1D vector)
print(dim(v))

# Print a message indicating the length of the vector
print("length of the vector:")

# Print the length of the vector 'v'
print(length(v))

Output:

[1] "Original vectors:"
[1] 1 3 5 7 9
[1] "Dimension of the vector:"
NULL
[1] "length of the vector:"
[1] 5                         

Explanation:

• Create a vector:
• v = c(1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
  A vector v is created containing the numeric elements 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.
• Print message (Original vector):
• print("Original vectors:")
  Prints a message indicating that the following output will show the original vector.
• Display the vector:
• print(v)
  Displays the content of the vector v.
• Print message (Dimension of the vector):
• print("Dimension of the vector:")
  Prints a message indicating that the following output will show the dimension of the vector.
• Display the dimension of the vector:
• print(dim(v))
  Displays the dimension of the vector v. For a simple vector, this will return NULL because vectors are one-dimensional.
• Print message (Length of the vector):
• print("length of the vector:")
  Prints a message indicating that the following output will show the length of the vector.
• Display the length of the vector:
• print(length(v))
  Displays the number of elements in the vector v, which in this case is 5.
