sort()
function in R Language is used to sort a vector by its values. It takes Boolean value as argument to sort in ascending or descending order.
Syntax:
sort(x, decreasing, na.last)
Parameters:
x: Vector to be sorted
decreasing: Boolean value to sort in descending order
na.last: Boolean value to put NA at the end
Example 1:
# R program to sort a vector # Creating a vector x <- c(7, 4, 3, 9, 1.2, -4, -5, -8, 6, NA) # Calling sort() function sort(x)
Output:
[1] -8.0 -5.0 -4.0 1.2 3.0 4.0 6.0 7.0 9.0
Example 2:
# R program to sort a vector # Creating a vector x <- c(7, 4, 3, 9, 1.2, -4, -5, -8, 6, NA) # Calling sort() function # to print in decreasing order sort(x, decreasing = TRUE) # Calling sort() function # to print NA at the end sort(x, na.last = TRUE)
Output:
[1] 9.0 7.0 6.0 4.0 3.0 1.2 -4.0 -5.0 -8.0 [1] -8.0 -5.0 -4.0 1.2 3.0 4.0 6.0 7.0 9.0 NA
