Functions
• A function takes in data, process it and return a
result or accomplish a specific task.
• Generally runs as funcname(input)
• Some basic functions useful for summarizing data:
– length() : length of a vector (number of elements)
– min() : minimum value
– max() : maximum value
– range() : range of data
– mean() : mean
– sd() : standard deviation
– sum() : sum

• Create a vector
– temp <- c(35, 23, 29, 31, 28, 27)

• length(temp)
[1] 6
• min(temp)
[1] 23
• max(temp)
[1] 35

• range(temp)
[1] 23 35
• mean(temp)
[1] 28.8333
• sd(temp)
[1] 4.020779
• sum(temp)
[1] 173

• In RStudio, we could type “?<funcation name>” to look


for the description of a function. e.g. ?mean
