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:
Variable assignment: We assign the value
25
to the variablex
. This is the number for which we want to calculate the square root.Square root calculation: We use the
sqrt()
function in R to calculate the square root ofx
. Thesqrt()
function takes the number as an argument and returns the square root of that number.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
.
