Arithmetic and Comparison Operators
Learn +, -, *, /, %%, %/% and comparison operators in R.
Introduction to R Operators
Operators are symbols that tell R to perform specific operations. In this lesson, we explore arithmetic and comparison operators — the foundation of any R program.
R supports all standard math operations plus some unique ones like modulo and integer division.
# Basic arithmetic in R
x <- 10
y <- 3
cat('x =', x, ', y =', y, '
')Addition and Subtraction
The + and - operators work exactly as in mathematics. They can be applied to single values or entire vectors at once.
price <- 49.99
discount <- 5.00
final_price <- price - discount
tax <- final_price + 3.50
cat('Final price with tax:', tax, '
