R Program to find maximum and minimum value of a given vector

How to find maximum and minimum vector

Here we are explaining how to write an R program to find the maximum and minimum value of a given vector. Here we are using built-in functions max, min for this calculation. The vector values are passed to these functions directly here. The min() function in R computes the minimum value of a vector or data frame. And the max() function in R computes the maximum value of a vector or data frame.

  • min(x, na.rm = FALSE)
  • max(x, na.rm = FALSE) where x is numeric or character vector and na.rm – a logical indicating whether missing values should be removed

How maximum and minimum value check is implemented in R Program

Below are the steps used in the R program to find the maximum and minimum of vectors. In this R program, we directly give the values to built-in functions. And print the function result. Here we used variable num for assigning vector values.

ALGORITHM

  • STEP 1: Assign variable num with vector values
  • STEP 2: Use the built-in functions
  • STEP 3: First print original vector values
  • STEP 4: call max() with an argument as num to find maximum value vector
  • STEP 5: call min() with an argument as num to find minimum value vector
  • STEP 6: print the result of each function

R Source Code

num = c(5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30)

print('Original vector is:')
## [1] "Original vector is:"
print(num)   
## [1]  5 10 15 20 25 30
print(paste("Maximum value of the said vector:", max(num)))
## [1] "Maximum value of the said vector: 30"
print(paste("Minimum value of the said vector:", min(num)))
## [1] "Minimum value of the said vector: 5"
