What is a Vector?

Last Updated: 20th August, 2026

vector is the most basic data structure in R. It is a one-dimensional collection of elements of the same data type.

Creating Vectors

Vectors are created using the c() (combine) function.

numbers <- c(10203040)
names <- c("A""B""C")

Types of Vectors

  • Numeric
  • Integer
  • Character
  • Logical
logical_vec <- c(TRUEFALSETRUE)

Vector Operations

R supports vectorized operations, meaning operations are applied to all elements at once.

Accessing Vector Elements

numbers[2]   # Access second element

Key Points

  • All elements must be of the same type
  • R automatically converts types if mixed (type coercion)
  • Vectors are heavily used in data analysis
