square root calculation r

To calculate the square root in R, you can use the sqrt() function. Here is an example:

x <- 25
result <- sqrt(x)

Let's break down the steps of this calculation:

  1. Variable assignment: We assign the value 25 to the variable x. This is the number for which we want to calculate the square root.

  2. Square root calculation: We use the sqrt() function in R to calculate the square root of x. The sqrt() function takes the number as an argument and returns the square root of that number.

  3. Result assignment: We assign the calculated square root to the variable result. This variable will store the result of the square root calculation.

After executing these steps, the value of the variable result will be the square root of x, which in this case would be 5.
