Variable-Assignment-in-R-programming

In R, variable assignment is typically done using either the <- operator or the = operator. Here are examples of both: Using <- (recommended in R):

x <- 10 name <- "Patrick Mensah" numbers <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Using = (an alternative way): x = 10 name = "Patrick Mensah" numbers = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Assigning a number to a variable

age <- 25

Assigning a string to a variable

name <- "Patrick Mensah"

Assigning a vector to a variable

scores <- c(88, 92, 79, 85)

In R, <- is more common and preferred because it makes assignments more explicit, distinguishing them from other operators.
