R Programming: Multiply Two Vectors of integers in R

R Programming: Vector Exercise-4 with Solution

Write a R program to multiply two vectors of integers type and length 3.

Sample Solution :

R Programming Code :

 # Define the first vector 'x' with integer values
x = c(10, 20, 30)

# Define the second vector 'y' with integer values
y = c(20, 10, 40)

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

# Print the first vector 'x'
print(x)

# Print the second vector 'y'
print(y)

# Print a message indicating the product of the two vectors
print("Product of two Vectors:")

# Multiply the corresponding elements of vectors 'x' and 'y' and store in 'z'
z = x * y

# Print the result of the division
print(z)

Output:

[1] "Original Vectors:"
[1] 10 20 30
[1] 20 10 40
[1] "Product of two Vectors:"
[1] 200, 200, 1200                        

Explanation:

• Define Vectors:
• x = c(10, 20, 30): Creates a numeric vector x with three elements: 10, 20, and 30.
• y = c(20, 10, 40): Creates another numeric vector y with three elements: 20, 10, and 40.
• Print Original Vectors:
• print("Original Vectors:"): Prints the message "Original Vectors:" to the console.
• print(x): Prints the elements of vector x.
• print(y): Prints the elements of vector y.
• Print Product of Two Vectors:
• print("Product of two Vectors:"): Prints the message "Product of two Vectors:" to the console.
• Multiplying the Vectors:
• z = x * y multiplies the corresponding elements of vectors x and y element-wise. The multiplication happens as follows:
• 10 (from x) * 20 (from y) = 200
• 20 (from x) * 10 (from y) = 200
• 30 (from x) * 40 (from y) = 1200
• The result is stored in a new vector z, which will contain 200, 200, 1200.
• Print Result:
• print(z): Prints the resulting vector z, which contains the multiplication results: 200, 200, 1200.
