Learn cat() Function | Syntax and Basic Operations
R Introduction

bookcat() Function

The cat() function in R allows you to combine text, numbers, and expressions into a single formatted output. This makes results easier to interpret by adding context alongside values.

Syntax

Each element is separated by a comma, and text strings must be enclosed in quotes. By default, cat() separates arguments with a space.

Example

12
cat("The result of integer division is", 10 %/% 3) cat("The remainder of the division is", 10 %% 3)
copy

When you call the cat() function, it prints each message on a new line by default.

Task

Calculate how many full days and extra hours are contained in 435 hours. Use integer division (%/%) to find the number of complete days, and the modulo operator (%%) to compute the leftover hours. Format the output as:

Full days: number
Remaining hours: number
