Get the Maximum element of an Object in R Programming – max() Function
max()
function in R Language is used to find the maximum element present in an object. This object can be a Vector, a list, a matrix, a data frame, etc..
Syntax: max(object, na.rm)
Parameters:
object: Vector, matrix, list, data frame, etc.
na.rm: Boolean value to remove NA element.
Example 1:
# R program to illustrate # the use of max() function # Creating vectors x1 < - c( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ) x2 < - c( 1 , 4 , 2 , 8 , NA, 11 ) # Finding Maximum element max (x1) max (x2, na.rm = FALSE) max (x2, na.rm = TRUE) |
Output:
[1] 9 [1] NA [1] 11
Example 2:
# R program to illustrate # the use of max() function # Creating a matrix arr = array( 2 : 13 , dim = c( 2 , 3 , 2 )) print (arr) # Using max() function max (arr) |
Output:
,, 1 [, 1] [, 2] [, 3] [1, ] 2 4 6 [2, ] 3 5 7,, 2 [, 1] [, 2] [, 3] [1, ] 8 10 12 [2, ] 9 11 13 [1] 13
