cat() Function

Enhancing the output with descriptive text can greatly improve the readability and user-friendliness of the results. In R, the cat() function serves this exact purpose.

With cat(), you can combine text, expressions, and variables to construct a meaningful output. Each element you want to include in the output should be separated by a comma, and strings of text must be enclosed in quotes (either double "" or single ''). By default, cat() separates each argument with a space.

Let's take a look at an example:

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

This approach clearly enhances the output, providing context and clarity. When you call the cat() function, it prints each message on a new line by default.

Task

Reflecting on the task of calculating full days and remaining hours from 435 hours, let's enhance the output format. The output should be structured as follows:

Remember to use integer division (%/%) to determine the number of whole days and the modulo operator (%%) for any remaining hours.
