sort in descending order in r
You can use the following R code to sort a vector in descending order and obtain explanations for each step:
# Create a sample vector
vector <- c(5, 2, 8, 1, 9)
# Sort the vector in descending order
sorted_vector <- sort(vector, decreasing = TRUE)
# Print the sorted vector
print(sorted_vector)
Explanation:
1. We create a sample vector using the c()
function, which combines the elements into a vector.
2. We use the sort()
function to sort the vector in descending order, indicated by the parameter decreasing = TRUE
.
3. Finally, we print the sorted vector using the print()
function.
