Note
Definition

A variable is a named location in memory that holds a value. The name can then be used to access or modify that value.

Variables are essential in R because they allow you to store values for later use, making code easier to write, read, and maintain.

Naming Rules

  • A variable name can include letters, numbers, dots(.), and underscores(_);
  • A variable name can only start with a letter or a dot;
  • If a variable name starts with a dot, the next character can't be a number;
  • A variable name cannot be the same as a reserved keyword, such as TRUE, FALSE, NA, etc.
Note
Note

Choose meaningful names that describe the data. For example, year is more descriptive than a. This improves code readability.

Assignment Syntax

To assign a value to a variable, the assignment operator = can be used.

Example

12
year = 2020 cat(year)
copy
