R Operators

R Operators

Operators are highly specialized symbols used to perform operations on variables and values.

R divides its immense collection of operators into several logical groups.

Arithmetic Operators

These operators confidently perform standard mathematical calculations.

• + (Addition)
• - (Subtraction)
• * (Multiplication)
• / (Division)
• ^ (Exponentiation)

Comparison Operators

These operators compare two values and strictly return a boolean TRUE or FALSE.

• == (Equal to)
• != (Not equal to)
• > (Greater than)
• < (Less than)
• >= (Greater than or equal to)

Logical Operators

Logical operators combine multiple conditional boolean statements together securely.

• & (AND) - Returns TRUE strictly if both statements are true.
• | (OR) - Returns TRUE if at least one of the statements is true.
• ! (NOT) - Actively reverses the boolean result (turns TRUE into FALSE).

x <- 10
# Returns TRUE because both conditions are completely true!
print(x > 5 & x < 15)
# Returns TRUE because at least one condition is true!
print(x == 10 | x == 100)
