Select Specific Columns In The Index Range

We can select by using the index range operator, as shown below.

Syntax:

dataframe[,column_index_start:column_index_end]

where.

  • column_index_start is the first index number, and column_index_end is the second index number.

Example:

R




# create a dataframe with 3 rows and 4 columns
data=data.frame(name=c("akash","kyathi","preethi"),
                subjects=c("java","R","dbms"),
                marks=c(90,98,78))
 
# select first to third column
print(data[,1:3])


Output:

     name subjects marks
1   akash     java    90
2  kyathi        R    98
3 preethi     dbms    78
