Here we are explaining how to write an R program to find the maximum and minimum value of a given vector. Here we are using built-in functions max, min for this calculation. The vector values are passed to these functions directly here. The min() function in R computes the minimum value of a vector or data frame. And the max() function in R computes the maximum value of a vector or data frame.
min(x, na.rm = FALSE)
max(x, na.rm = FALSE)
#where x is numeric or character vector and na.rm – a logical indicating whether missing values should be removed
Below are the steps used in the R program to find the maximum and minimum of vectors. In this R program, we directly give the values to built-in functions. And print the function result. Here we used variable num for assigning vector values.
STEP 1: Assign variable num with vector values
STEP 2: Use the built-in functions
STEP 3: First print original vector values
STEP 4: call max() with an argument as num to find maximum value vector
STEP 5: call min() with an argument as num to find minimum value vector
STEP 6: print the result of each function
num = c(5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30)
print('Original vector is:')
print(nums)
print(paste("Maximum value of the said vector:",max(num)))
print(paste("Minimum value of the said vector:",min(num)))
[1] "Original vector is:" [1] 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 [1] "Maximum value of the said vector: 30" [1] "Minimum value of the said vector: 5"
