Creating and Using Functions in R

Functions in R allow you to encapsulate a set of operations into a reusable block of code. This makes your code more organized and easier to maintain.

Defining Functions

To create a function in R, you use the function() keyword, specifying arguments and the code to execute.

my_function <- function(arg1, arg2) {

  result <- arg1 + arg2

  return(result)

}

Calling Functions

Once you've defined a function, you can call it with specific arguments to perform the desired computations.

output <- my_function(3, 5)

print(output)  # Output: 8
