Step 1: What is the hp (hp stands for “horse power”)


1) Which is the highest hp ?

highhp <- myCars[which.max(myCars$hp),4 ]
highhp
[1] 335

2) Which car has the highest hp?
carnamehp <- rownames(myCars[which.max(myCars$hp), ],
do.NULL = TRUE, "row")
carnamehp
[1] "Maserati Bora"

Step 2: Explore mpg (mpg stands for “miles per gallon”)


1) What is the highest mpg?

highmpg <- myCars[which.max(myCars$mpg), 1]
highmpg
[1] 33.9

2) Which car has the highest mpg?

carnamempg <- rownames(myCars[which.max(myCars$mpg), ],
do.NULL = TRUE, "row")
carnamempg
[1] "Toyota Corolla"

#3) Create a sorted dataframe based on mpg ?

sortmpg <- myCars[order(myCars$mpg, na.last=NA) , ]
sortmpg

Step 3: Which car has the “best” combination of mpg and hp?

1) What logic did you use?

The logic used was to find a car with mpg greater than 25 and hp
greater than 110.

2) Which car?

which((myCars$mpg > 25 & myCars$hp > 110), arr.ind =
FALSE,useNames = TRUE)
[1] 28
rownames(myCars[28,],do.NULL = TRUE,prefix = "row")

[1] "Lotus Europa"

Step 4: Which car has “best” car combination of mpg and hp,
where mpg and hp must be given equal weight?

which((myCars$mpg > 25 & myCars$hp > 110), arr.ind =


FALSE,useNames = TRUE)
[1] 28
rownames(myCars[28,],do.NULL = TRUE,prefix = "row")

[1] "Lotus Europa"
