Sorting elements of a R Vector

sort() function is used with the help of which we can sort the values in ascending or descending order. 

R




# R program to sort elements of a Vector
 
# Creation of Vector
X<- c(8, 2, 7, 1, 11, 2)
 
# Sort in ascending order
A<- sort(X)
cat('ascending order', A, '\n')
 
# sort in descending order
# by setting decreasing as TRUE
B<- sort(X, decreasing = TRUE)
cat('descending order', B)


Output:

ascending order 1  2  2  7  8 11
descending order 11 8 7 2 2 1


R Vectors

R Vectors are the same as the arrays in R language which are used to hold multiple data values of the same type. One major key point is that in R Programming Language the indexing of the vector will start from ‘1’ and not from ‘0’. We can create numeric vectors and character vectors as well.
