R Programming: List the Distinct values in a Vector

Last update on December 21 2024 10:08:56 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a R program to list the distinct values in a vector from a given vector.

Sample Solution :

R Programming Code :

# Create a vector with some repeated values
v = c(10, 10, 10, 20, 30, 40, 40, 40, 50)

# Print the original vector
print("Original vector:")
print(v)

# Print the distinct (unique) values in the vector
print("Distinct values of the said vector:")
print(unique(v))

Output:

[1] "Original vector:"
[1] 10 10 10 20 30 40 40 40 50
[1] "Distinct values of the said vector:"
[1] 10 20 30 40 50                         

Explanation:

• v = c(10, 10, 10, 20, 30, 40, 40, 40, 50)
  Creates a vector v with repeated values: 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50.
• print("Original vector:")
  Prints the label "Original vector:" to indicate the following output.
• print(v)
  Prints the content of vector v, which shows all the values including duplicates.
• print("Distinct values of the said vector:")
  Prints the label "Distinct values of the said vector:" to indicate the following output.
• print(unique(v))
  Prints the distinct values of the vector v, removing any duplicates and showing only unique values.
