Aim: Write A R Script To Perform Operations On .CSV File.: Sycet/ Cse/Lom/Idsr

The document describes how to perform operations on a .csv file in R. It explains how to read a .csv file into a data frame, analyze the data frame by checking the number of columns and rows, and extract specific data through filtering. Examples are provided to get the maximum salary from the data, details of the person with the maximum salary, and persons in the IT department with a salary greater than 600. The goal is to demonstrate basic operations that can be done on a .csv file after importing it into R.

PRACTICAL EXPERIMENT INSTRUCTION SHEET
EXPERIMENT TITLE:
Write a R script to perform operations on .csv file
EXPERIMENT NO. : 09 SUBJECT : INTRODUCTION TO DATA SCIENCE USING R

DEPT: COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING SEMESTER :IV

Aim: Write a R script to perform operations on .csv file.

Hardware Requirement:
Intel P-IV 2.70 GHz Processor, 1 GB RAM, 256 GB HDD, 15” LCD Monitor, Keyboard,
Mouse.
Software Requirement:
R Tool, R Studio, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Theory:
Introduction:
In R, we can read data from files stored outside the R environment. We can also write data into
files which will be stored and accessed by the operating system. R can read and write into
various file formats like csv, excel, xml etc.

Getting and Setting the Working Directory:


You can check which directory the R workspace is pointing to using the getwd() function. You
can also set a new working directory using setwd()function.

# Get and print current working directory.


print(getwd())

# Set current working directory.


setwd("/web/com")

# Get and print current working directory.


print(getwd())
When we execute the above code, it produces the following result −

[1] "/web/com/1441086124_2016"
[1] "/web/com"
This result depends on your OS and your current directory where you are working.

Input as CSV File:


The csv file is a text file in which the values in the columns are separated by a comma. Let's
consider the following data present in the file named input.csv.
SYCET/ CSE/LOM/IDSR

You can create this file using windows notepad by copying and pasting this data. Save the file
as input.csv using the save As All files(*.*) option in notepad.

id,name,salary,start_date,dept
1,Rick,623.3,2012-01-01,IT
2,Dan,515.2,2013-09-23,Operations
3,Michelle,611,2014-11-15,IT
4,Ryan,729,2014-05-11,HR
5,Gary,843.25,2015-03-27,Finance
6,Nina,578,2013-05-21,IT
7,Simon,632.8,2013-07-30,Operations
8,Guru,722.5,2014-06-17,Finance

Reading a CSV File:


Following is a simple example of read.csv() function to read a CSV file available in your
current working directory −

data <- read.csv("input.csv")


print(data)
When we execute the above code, it produces the following result −

id, name, salary, start_date, dept


1 1 Rick 623.30 2012-01-01 IT
2 2 Dan 515.20 2013-09-23 Operations
3 3 Michelle 611.00 2014-11-15 IT
4 4 Ryan 729.00 2014-05-11 HR
5 NA Gary 843.25 2015-03-27 Finance
6 6 Nina 578.00 2013-05-21 IT
7 7 Simon 632.80 2013-07-30 Operations
8 8 Guru 722.50 2014-06-17 Finance

Analyzing the CSV File:


By default the read.csv() function gives the output as a data frame. This can be easily checked
as follows. Also we can check the number of columns and rows.

data <- read.csv("input.csv")

print(is.data.frame(data))
print(ncol(data))
print(nrow(data))

When we execute the above code, it produces the following result −

[1] TRUE
[1] 5
[1] 8

Once we read data in a data frame, we can apply all the functions applicable to data frames as
explained in subsequent section.
SYCET/ CSE/LOM/IDSR

Get the maximum salary


# Create a data frame.
data <- read.csv("input.csv")

# Get the max salary from data frame.


sal <- max(data$salary)
print(sal)
When we execute the above code, it produces the following result −

[1] 843.25

Get the details of the person with max salary:


We can fetch rows meeting specific filter criteria similar to a SQL where clause.

# Create a data frame.


data <- read.csv("input.csv")

# Get the max salary from data frame.


sal <- max(data$salary)

# Get the person detail having max salary.


retval <- subset(data, salary == max(salary))
print(retval)
When we execute the above code, it produces the following result −

id name salary start_date dept


5 NA Gary 843.25 2015-03-27 Finance

Get the persons in IT department whose salary is greater than 600:


# Create a data frame.
data <- read.csv("input.csv")

info <- subset(data, salary > 600 & dept == "IT")


print(info)
When we execute the above code, it produces the following result −

id name salary start_date dept

3 3 Michelle 611.0 2014-11-15 IT

Conclusion:
Hence we have studied how to create a .csv file & how to perform basic operations on .csv
file.
