How to write a custom function in R?
This recipe helps you write a custom function in R
Recipe Objective
How to write a custom function in R? There are two types of functions we can work with in R i.e - built-in functions - user defined functions i.e custom functions. Custom functions are created when we need a function repetitively in our code and are not readily available as a built-in function. This recipe displays an example of designing a custom function.
Step 1-Create a custom function
Let's say we want to calculate the area of a triangle with the given input's the base and height of the traingle
area_of_triangle <- function(base,height){
area=0.5*base*height
return(area)
}
Step 2 - Find the area
print(paste("Area of the triangle is : " ,area_of_triangle(10,20)))
"Output of the code is"- "Area of the triangle is : 100"
