R Operators – Arithmetic, Relational, Logical, Assignment
R Tutorial – We shall learn about R Operators – Arithmetic, Relational, Logical, Assignment and some of the Miscellaneous Operators that R programming language provides.
R Operators
There are four main categories of Operators in R programming language. They are shown in the following picture :
We shall learn about these operators in detail with Example R programs.
R Arithmetic Operators
Arithmetic Operators are used to accomplish arithmetic operations. They can be operated on the basic data types Numericals, Integers, Complex Numbers. Vectors with these basic data types can also participate in arithmetic operations, during which the operation is performed on one to one element basis. Operator Description Usage
+ Addition of two operands a + b
– Subtraction of second operand from first a – b
* Multiplication of two operands a * b
/ Division of first operand with second a / b
%% Remainder from division of first operand with second a %% b
%/% Quotient from division of first operand with second a %/% b
^ First operand raised to the power of second operand a^b
An example for each of the arithmetic operator on Numerical values is provided below :

Following are the six relational operations R programming language supports.The output is boolean (TRUE or FALSE) for all of the Relational Operators in R programming language. Operator Description Usage < Is first operand less than second operand a < b > Is first operand greater than second operand a > b == Is first operand equal to second operand a == b <= Is first operand less than or equal to second operand a <= b >= Is first operand greater than or equal to second operand a > = b != Is first operand not equal to second operand a!=b An example for each of the relational operator on Numberical values is provided below : r_op_relational.R R Script File # R Operators - R Relational Operators Example for Numbers a# par i print ( a==b ) # equal tpor int ( aqbu a)l #to greater than pprriinntt (( aa>===bb )) ## equal to greater than or equal tporint ( a<=b ) # less than or equal to pprriinntt (( aa!>==bb ) )# # n gorte ater than or equal to equal to print ( a!=b ) # not equal to Output $ Rscript r_op_relational.R [1] FALSE [1] TRUE [$1 ]R sFcArLipStE r_op_relational.R [1] FALSE [[11]] TFRAULESE [[11]] TTRRUUEE [1] FALSE [1] FALSE [1] TRUE [1] TRUE An example for each of the relational operator on Vectors is provided below : r_op_relational_vector.R R Script File # R Operators - R Relational Operators Example for Numbers # R Operators - R Relational Operators Example for Numbers a <- c(7.5, 3, 5) b <- c(2, 7, 0) print ( ab ) # greater than print ( a==b ) # equal to print ( a<=b ) # less than or equal to print ( a>=b ) # greater than or equal to print ( a!=b ) # not equal to Output $ Rscript r_op_relational_vector.
