R Programming: Find Maximum and Minimum values in a Vector

Last update on December 21 2024 10:07:45 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a R program to find the maximum and the minimum value of a given vector.

Sample Solution :

R Programming Code :

# Create a vector of numbers
nums = c(10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60)

# Print a message indicating that the following output is the original vector
print('Original vector:')

# Print the content of the vector
print(nums)   

# Print the maximum value of the vector, with a descriptive message
print(paste("Maximum value of the said vector:", max(nums)))

# Print the minimum value of the vector, with a descriptive message
print(paste("Minimum value of the said vector:", min(nums)))

Output:

[1] "Original vector:"
[1] 10 20 30 40 50 60
[1] "Maximum value of the said vector: 60"
[1] "Minimum value of the said vector: 10"                         

Explanation:

• Creates a vector nums: Initializes a vector named nums containing the values 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60.
• Prints the original vector: Outputs the text 'Original vector:' followed by the content of the nums vector.
• Finds the maximum value: Uses the max() function to determine the highest value in the nums vector and prints it along with the text "Maximum value of the said vector:".
• Finds the minimum value: Uses the min() function to determine the lowest value in the nums vector and prints it along with the text "Minimum value of the said vector:".
