Example 1 (assignment operator)e.g. y<–39; z<–5try w<–z2 and (w<–z2)
Ex. Suppose z = 5 and i = z2+452 , what is the value of i ?
listing and deleting objects
ls() or objects, rm()
try ls(), rm(y), rm (z,w,i)

Vectorization
Example 4Try to calculate the square root of 4, 7, 23.5, 76.2, 80. (hint: sqrt())
Example 5 (vector arithmetic)v1<-c(4,6,8),v2<-c(34,32.4,12), try v1+v2
The recycling rule: If vectors do not have the same length, R willrepeat the shorter vector till it fills in the size of the larger.
Example 6 (recycling rule)Suppose v1=(4,6,8,24),v2=(10,2),v3=(10,2,4), try v1+v2, v1+v3.

Lists
an ordered collection of other objects known as its components.components do not need to be of the same type, mode or length.

Data Frames
similar to a matrix but with named columnsit may include data of different type on each columna special class of lists
Example 30 (creating a data frame)my.dataset<-data.frame(site=c(‘A’,‘B’,‘A’,‘A’,‘B’),season=c(‘Winter’,‘Summer’,‘Summer’,‘Spring’, ‘Fall’),pH=c(7.4,6.3,8.6,7.2,8.9))my.dataset[3,2]my.dataset$pH

Data Frames
Example 31 (Querying data frames)my.dataset[my.dataset$pH>7]my.dataset[my.dataset$site=‘A’, ‘pH’]show the site and pH value of entries with season=Summer.attach( ); detach()attach(my.dataset); my.dataset[pH>8, ]; season

Data Frames
Example 32 (adding columns to a data frame)my.dataset$NO3<-c(234.5,256.6,654.1,356.7,776.4); my.dataset$NO3new columns must have the same number of rows as the existing dataframe.nrow(my.dataset); ncol(my.dataset)names(my.dataset);names(my.dataset)<-c(“area”,“season”,“pH”,“NO3”);names(my.dataset)[4]<-“PO4”

Creating New Functions
Example 33
standard error=√
s2n , where s2 is the variance and n is the sample size
Try to check whether there is already a function with name ‘se’ in Rsese<-funcion(x){v<-var(x); n<-length(x); return(sqrt(v/n))}calculate the standard deviation of vector (45,2,3,5,76,2,4)function(<list of parameters>){<list of R instructions>}
