Understanding Data Types in R

In this guide, we’ll explore the different data types in R. Understanding data types is essential for effective programming and data manipulation.

Types of Data in R

R has several basic data types, including:

  • Numeric: Represents numbers, both integers and decimals.
    • Example: x <- 10 or y <- 3.14
  • Character: Represents text strings.
    • Example: name <- "Alice"
  • Logical: Represents boolean values (TRUE or FALSE).
    • Example: is_true <- TRUE
  • Integer: Represents whole numbers. You can define an integer by adding an 'L' suffix.
    • Example: age <- 25L
  • Complex: Represents complex numbers.
    • Example: z <- 1 + 2i

Understanding these data types will help you handle and manipulate data efficiently in your R programs.
