Arithmetic Operations with Vectors
Vectors in R offer a significant advantage due to their flexibility with various operations. For instance, if you have two vectors of the same length, you can easily perform addition or subtraction on an element-by-element basis.
Additionally, vectors can undergo arithmetic operations with single numbers, which apply the operation to each element of the vector. For example, let's create a vector with the numbers 10, 20, 30
and add 40, 25, 5
to each corresponding element:
# Vectors a <- c(10, 20, 30) b <- c(40, 25, 5) # Addition c <- a + b c
Now, let's go ahead and multiply each element by 2
:
a <- c(10, 20, 30) b <- c(40, 25, 5) c <- a + b # Multiplication d <- c * 2 d
R also provides a variety of aggregate and statistical functions. Let's explore two of the most common ones:
sum()
- calculates and returns the sum of all vector elements;mean()
- computes and returns the average value of the vector elements.
We will proceed with our previous example and calculate the sum of all vector elements:
a <- c(10, 20, 30) b <- c(40, 25, 5) c <- a + b d <- c * 2 # Calculating the sum sum(d)
Task
Let's revisit our example with a small local store. This time we have data on the number of sales.
Item | Price | Items sold |
Sofa | $340 | 5 |
Armchair | $150 | 7 |
Dining table | $115 | 3 |
Dining chair | $45 | 15 |
Bookshelf | $160 | 8 |
- Construct a vector called
sold
with the respective values from the Items sold column. - Calculate the
revenue
by multiplying theprices
andsold
vectors and then output the result. - Display the total sum of the
revenue
vector.
