Multiple Variables
R allows you to assign values to multiple variables in a single line, making code more efficient and compact.
Examples of Multiple Variable Assignment
# Assigning the same value to multiple variables
a <- b <- c <- 5
Output:
[1] 5
[1] 5
[1] 5
# Using semicolons to assign values in one line
p <- 1; q <- 2; r <- 3
Output:
[1] 1
[1] 2
[1] 3
Code Explanation: a, b, and c are assigned the value 5 simultaneously. Using semicolons allows you to assign values to p, q, and r in a single line.
Key Takeaways
- You can assign the same value to multiple variables at once.
- Using semicolons allows you to write multiple assignments on a single line.
