Introduction To R: Vector Arithmetic

This document introduces vector arithmetic in R. It shows that computations are performed element-wise on vectors, so that mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division output a result for each element in the vectors. It also demonstrates using functions like sum() to calculate totals over elements in a vector, and logical operators like > to compare vector elements.

Vector Arithmetic

Introduction to R

Vector Arithmetic
> my_apples <- 5
> my_oranges <- 6
> my_apples + my_oranges
[1] 11

my_apples is a vector!
my_oranges is a vector!

Computations are performed element-wise


> earnings <- c(50, 100, 30)
> earnings * 3
[1] 150 300 90

Vector Arithmetic
> earnings/10
[1] 5 10 3
> earnings - 20
[1] 30 80 10
> earnings + 100
[1] 150 200 130
> earnings^2
[1] 2500 10000

Mathematics naturally extend!

Element-wise
> earnings <- c(50, 100, 30)
> expenses <- c(30, 40, 80)
> earnings - expenses
[1] 20 60 -50
> earnings + c(10, 20, 30)
[1] 60 120 60
> earnings * c(1, 2, 3)
[1] 50 200 90
> earnings / c(1, 2, 3)
[1] 50 50 10

multiplication and division


are done element-wise!
