Creating a Data Frame

A Data Frame is a two-dimensional labeled data structure. It may consist of fields/columns of different types. It simply looks like a table in SQL or like an excel worksheet. In R, to create a Data Frame use data.frame() method. The syntax to  create a data frame is given as-

data <- data.frame(columnName1=c(
    data1,data2,...),
    ...........
    columnNameN=c(data1,data2,...))

Example:

 In this example let’s look into how to create a Data Frame in R using data.frame() method.

R




# create a data frame 
stats <- data.frame(player=c('A', 'B', 'C', 'D'),
                runs=c(100, 200, 408, NA),
                wickets=c(17, 20, NA, 5))
  
print("stats Dataframe")
stats


Output

"stats Dataframe"
  player runs wickets
1      A  100      17
2      B  200      20
3      C  408      NA
4      D   NA       5
