Summary of Business Analytics - Session 3

**Topic: Iterator Instructions in R**

### 1. Iterator Pattern in R: While Instruction


- The `while` loop executes instructions as long as a condition holds true.
- Syntax:
```r
while(condition) {
commands to be executed
}
```
- The condition is checked first; if false, the loop does not execute.
- Example: Compute the sum of the first N natural numbers.
```r
N <- 10
i <- 1
sum <- 0
while (i <= N) {
sum <- sum + i
i <- i + 1
}
print(sum)
```
- **Caution:** Avoid infinite loops by ensuring the condition eventually becomes false.

### 2. Iterator Pattern in R: Repeat Instruction


- The `repeat` loop executes a block of code repeatedly until explicitly stopped.
- Syntax:
```r
repeat {
commands to be executed
if (exit condition) {
break
}
}
```
- Example:
```r
N <- 10
i <- 1
sum <- 0
repeat {
sum <- sum + i
i <- i + 1
if (i > N) {
break
}
}
print(sum)
```

### 3. Functions in R
- Functions allow repeated use of code with different inputs.
- Example: Function to calculate the area of a circle.
```r
areaofCircle <- function(R) {
Area <- 3.14 * (R^2)
return(Area)
}
print(areaofCircle(5)) # Output: 78.5
```

**Topic: Advanced Object Types in R**

### 1. Vectors in R
- A vector is a group of data objects of the same type.
- Created using `c()` function:
```r
groupofInt <- c(1, 15, 11, -7)
```
- Mathematical operations apply element-wise:
```r
c(3,4,5) * 2 # Results: c(6, 8, 10)
```

### 2. Accessing and Modifying Vector Elements


- Individual elements accessed using index:
```r
v <- c(3,6,-7,5)
v[2] # Output: 6
```

### 3. Matrices in R
- A matrix is a 2D collection of data objects of the same type.
- Created using `matrix()` function:
```r
matrixM <- matrix(c(1,2,3,4,5,6), nrow=3, ncol=2)
```
