In Programming Language, we need to use variables to store information. Variables are used to store data of different types. As we know different data types requires a different size of memory space. We can perform some specific operations on these data types.
In R, Everything is an object. R has the following basic data types:
- Logical
- Numeric
- Integer
- Character
- Complex
1. Logical
In R Language, logical value is created by comparison between two or more variables.
Example:
x=2
y=3
z=x>y
print(z)
print(typeof(z))Output:
[1] FALSE [1] "logical"
2. Numeric
It is a data type that is used for numbers in R.
Example:
x=8.7
print(typeof(x))
Output: [1] "double"
3. Integer
It supports integer data types which are the set of all integers.
Example:
x=9L
print(typeof(x))Output: [1] "integer"
4. Characters
It is a data type that supports all the alphabets and special characters.
Example:
char="ProgramsBuzz"
print(typeof(char))Output: [1] "character"
5. Complex
This data type support set of all the complex numbers.
Example:
x=4+3i
print(typeof(x))Output: [1] "complex"
