& Operator in R

The “&” operator is a logical operator used to evaluate logical expressions. The “element-wise logical AND” operator because it compares two logical vectors element by element and returns the new logical vector indicating which elements are TRUE in both vectors.

Output:

[1] FALSE FALSE  TRUE

In R Programming Language, “&” and “&&” are two logical operators used to combine logical expressions. However, they behave differently in terms of how they evaluate expressions and return results.

The “&” operator evaluates both expressions and returns a vector of the same length as the inputs, where each element is the result of a logical “and” operation. This means that it returns TRUE only if both expressions are TRUE and FALSE.

• The “&” operator performs the element-wise comparison and returns a logical vector of the same length as its input.
•  the “&&” operator evaluates only the first element of the input and returns the single logical value.

The “&” and “&&” operators are used for logical operations. The &” and “&&” are two logical operators used to evaluate logical expressions.
