R Programming - Create Vectors using : Operator and seq() Function

R Programming: Vector Exercise-28 with Solution

Write a R program to create a vector using : operator and seq() function.

Sample Solution :

R Programming Code :

# Create a vector 'x' using the : operator, which generates a sequence from 1 to 15
x = 1:15

# Print a message indicating the new vector created with the : operator
print("New vector using : operator-")

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

# Print a message indicating the new vector created with the seq() function
print("New vector using seq() function-")

# Print a message specifying that the next vector uses a step size
print("Specify step size:")

# Create a vector 'y' using seq() function from 1 to 3 with a step size of 0.3
y = seq(1, 3, by=0.3)  

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

# Print a message specifying that the next vector uses a specified length
print("Specify length of the vector:")

# Create a vector 'z' using seq() function from 1 to 5 with a total length of 6 elements
z = seq(1, 5, length.out = 6)

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

Output:

[1] "New vector using : operator-"
 [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15
[1] "New vector using seq() function-"
[1] "Specify step size:"
[1] 1.0 1.3 1.6 1.9 2.2 2.5 2.8
[1] "Specify length of the vector:"
[1] 1.0 1.8 2.6 3.4 4.2 5.0                         

Explanation:

• Create a vector using : operator:
• x = 1:15
  Creates a vector x containing a sequence of integers from 1 to 15 using the : operator.
• Print message (New vector using : operator):
• print("New vector using : operator-")
  Prints a message indicating that the following output will show the vector created with the : operator.
• Display the vector x:
• print(x)
  Displays the content of the vector x.
• Print message (New vector using seq() function):
• print("New vector using seq() function-")
  Prints a message indicating that the following output will show vectors created using the seq() function.
• Print message (Specify step size):
• print("Specify step size:")
  Prints a message indicating that the next vector demonstrates a sequence with a specified step size.
• Create a vector using seq() with a step size:
• y = seq(1, 3, by=0.3)
  Creates a vector y with a sequence from 1 to 3 with a step size of 0.3.
• Display the vector y:
• print(y)
  Displays the content of the vector y.
• Print message (Specify length of the vector):
• print("Specify length of the vector:")
  Prints a message indicating that the next vector demonstrates a sequence with a specified length.
• Create a vector using seq() with a specified length:
• z = seq(1, 5, length.out = 6)
  Creates a vector z with a sequence from 1 to 5, with exactly 6 elements.
• Display the vector z:
• print(z)
  Displays the content of the vector z.
