Lecture Notes Of Class 4:
Working with Vectors and Lists in R Language
Objective:
This class aims to introduce vectors
and lists in R programming. Students will learn how to create and
manipulate vectors and lists, perform vectorized operations, and use various
functions to interact with these data structures.
Introduction
to Vectors
A vector is a basic data
structure in R that contains elements of the same type, such as numbers,
characters, or logical values. In R, vectors are the foundation for handling
data efficiently.
Creating
Vectors
To create a vector in R, the c()
function (combine function) is used. Here's the syntax:
r
CopyEdit
vector_name
<- c(element1, element2, element3, ...)
Example:
r
CopyEdit
# Create
a numeric vector
num_vector
<- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
# Create
a character vector
char_vector
<- c("apple", "banana", "cherry")
Indexing
Vectors
You can access elements of a
vector using indexing. R indices start from 1, not 0. To access a specific
element, use square brackets [].
Example:
r
CopyEdit
# Access
the first element of num_vector
num_vector[1]
# Access
elements from position 2 to 4
num_vector[2:4]
# Access
the last element using length() function
num_vector[length(num_vector)]
Vectorized
Operations
Vectorized operations allow you
to perform operations on the entire vector without explicitly using loops. R
automatically applies the operation element-wise to each item in the vector.
Example:
r
CopyEdit
# Add 2
to every element of the vector
num_vector
+ 2
#
Multiply each element of the vector by 3
num_vector
* 3
These operations are faster and
more efficient than using loops.
Introduction
to Lists
A list is an R data
structure that can hold elements of different types (e.g., numbers, characters,
vectors, or even other lists). Unlike vectors, lists can contain various data
types in a single object.
Creating
Lists
You can create a list using the list()
function. The syntax is:
r
CopyEdit
list_name
<- list(element1, element2, element3, ...)
Example:
r
CopyEdit
# Create
a list with different data types
my_list <-
list(1, "apple", TRUE, c(1, 2, 3), c("a", "b"))
Accessing
Elements in Lists
To access elements in a list, you
use double square brackets [[ ]] for a single element and single square
brackets [ ] for a sublist.
Example:
r
CopyEdit
# Access
the first element of the list
my_list[[1]]
# Access
the 4th element (which is a vector)
my_list[[4]]
# Access
a sublist
my_list[1:2]
Modifying
List Elements
You can modify elements of a list
by referencing them using their index and assignment.
Example:
r
CopyEdit
# Modify
the first element
my_list[[1]]
<- 10
# Add a
new element to the list
my_list[[6]]
<- "new element"
List
Operations and Functions
Length of
a List
To get the number of elements in
a list, you can use the length() function.
Example:
r
CopyEdit
length(my_list)
List
Concatenation
You can combine lists using the c()
function, just like vectors.
Example:
r
CopyEdit
#
Concatenate two lists
list1 <-
list(1, 2, 3)
list2 <-
list("apple", "banana")
combined_list
<- c(list1, list2)
Other
Useful Functions for Lists
- str(list_name):
Displays the structure of the list.
- names(list_name):
Assigns names to the elements of the list.
Example:
r
CopyEdit
# Assign
names to list elements
names(my_list)
<- c("first", "second", "third", "fourth",
"fifth")
