R language Operators

The operator is a symbol that tells the compiler to perform a specific mathematical or logical operation. The R language has rich built-in operators and provides the following types of operators.

Operator type

• Arithmetic operators
• Relational operators
• logical operators
• Assignment operators
• Other operators

Arithmetic operators

The following table lists the arithmetic operators supported with the R language. Each element in the operator's action vector.

operator	Description	Example
+	Add two vectors	V <-C (2,5.5,6) T <-C (8, 3, 4) print (v+t) It produces the following results: [1] 10.0 8.5 10.0
?	Subtract a second vector from the first vector	V <-C (2,5.5,6) T <-C (8, 3, 4) print (V-T) It produces the following results: [1] -6.0 2.5 2.0
*	Two vector multiplication	V <-C (2,5.5,6) T <-C (8, 3, 4) print (v*t) It produces the following results: [1] 16.0 16.5 24.0
/	Divides the first vector from the second vector	V <-C (2,5.5,6) T <-C (8, 3, 4) print (v/t) It produces the following results: [1] 0.250000 1.833333 1.500000
%%	Get the first vector and the second vector remainder	V <-C (2,5.5,6) T <-C (8, 3, 4) print (v%%t) It produces the following results: [1] 2.0 2.5 2.0
%/%	The result of dividing the first vector from the second (quotient)	V <-C (2,5.5,6) T <-C (8, 3, 4) print (v%/%t) It produces the following results: [1] 0 1 1
^	The first vector is promoted to the exponent of the second vector	V <-C (2,5.5,6) T <-C (8, 3, 4) print (v^t) It produces the following results: [1] 256.000 166.375 1296.000

Relational operators

The following table lists the relational operators that are supported in the R language. Each element of the first vector is compared to the corresponding element of the second vector. The result of the comparison is a Boolean value.

operator	Description	Example
>	Checks if each element of the first vector is greater than the corresponding element of the second vector.	V <-C (2,5.5,6,9) T <-C (8,2.5,14,9) print (v>t) It produces the following results: [1] False TRUE false false
<	Checks whether each element of the first vector is smaller than the corresponding element of the second vector.	V <-C (2,5.5,6,9) T <-C (8,2.5,14,9) print (v < T) It produces the following results: [1] True false True false
==	Checks whether each element of the first vector equals the corresponding element of the second vector.	V <-C (2,5.5,6,9) T <-C (8,2.5,14,9) print (v==t) It produces the following results: [1] false false TRUE
<=	Checks whether each element of the first vector is less than or equal to the corresponding element of the second vector.	V <-C (2,5.5,6,9) T <-C (8,2.5,14,9) print (v<=t) It produces the following results: [1] True FALSE true True
>=	Checks whether each element of the first vector is greater than or equal to the corresponding element of the second vector.	V <-C (2,5.5,6,9) T <-C (8,2.5,14,9) print (v>=t) It produces the following results: [1] False true false
!=	Checks whether each element of the first vector is not equal to the corresponding element of the second vector.	V <-C (2,5.5,6,9) T <-C (8,2.5,14,9) print (v!=t) It produces the following results: [1] True True True FALSE

logical operators

The following table lists the logical operators supported in the R language. It applies only to a logical, numeric, or complex vector. All values greater than 1 are considered true for the logical value.

Each element of the first vector is compared with the corresponding element of the second vector. The result of the comparison is a Boolean value.

operator	description	example
& amp;	This is the so-called element logical AND operator. It combines each element of the first vector with the corresponding element of the second vector, and gives a true if all two components are true.	v <-C (3,1,true,2+3i) T <-C (4,1,false,2+3i) print (v&t it produces the following result: [1] True True FALSE true
|	This is the so-called element-wise logic or operator. It combines each element of the first vector with the corresponding element of the second vector, giving a true if one of these elements is true.	v <-C (3,0,true,2+2i) T <-C (4,0,false,2+3i) print (v|t) it produces the following result: [1] True FALSE true
!	This is called a logical non-operator. Each element of the orientation amount, and gives the opposite logical value.	v <-C (3,0,true,2+2i) print (!V) it produces the following result: [1" false TRUE false

Logical operators && and | | Consider vector only the first element and give a single element as the output vector.

operator	Description	Example
&&	The so-called logic and operators. Take the first element of two vectors, only if two are true for the result.	V <-C (3,0,true,2+2i) T <-C (1,3,true,2+3i) print (v&&t) It produces the following results: [1] TRUE
||	The so-called logic or operator. Takes the first element of two vectors, only if two is true and the result is true.	V <-C (0,0,true,2+2i) T <-C (0,3,true,2+3i) print (v| | T It produces the following results: [1] FALSE

Assignment operators

These operators are used to assign values to vectors.

operator	Description	Example
<- Or = Or <<-	It's called left assignment.	V1 <-C (3,1,true,2+3i) V2 <<-C (3,1,true,2+3i) v3 = C (3,1,true,2+3i) print (v1) print (v2) print (v3) It produces the following results: [1] 3+0i 1+0i 1+0i 2+3i[1] 3+0i 1+0i 1+0i 2+3i[1] 3+0i 1+0i 1+0i 2+3i
- Or ->>	It's called Right assignment.	C (3,1,true,2+3i), v1c (3,1,true,2+3i)->> v2 print (v1) print (v2) It produces the following results: [1] 3+0i 1+0i 1+0i 2+3i[1] 3+0i 1+0i 1+0i 2+3i

Other operators

These operators are used for specific purposes, rather than general mathematical or logical operations.

operator	Description	Example
:	The colon operator. It creates a vector of sequential numbers.	It produces the following results:
%in%	This operator is used to identify whether an element belongs to (in) a vector.	It produces the following results:
%*%	This operator is used to multiply the transpose matrix of it.	It produces the following results: [, 1] [, 2] [1,] 82[2,] 117
