print() Function
When R displays results, the output is often preceded by [1]
. This marker indicates that the line begins with the first element of the result. For larger outputs, you will see additional markers such as [2]
, [3]
, and so on.
Using print()
Although R automatically shows results, you can use the print()
function to control how output is displayed. One of its options is the digits
argument, which rounds numbers to a chosen number of significant figures.
print(expression, digits = n)
Example
125 / 3 print(5 / 3, digits = 3)
Here, the output of print()
is rounded to three significant figures, making results easier to read.

- On the first line, execute a division of
50
by7
. - On the second line, divide
50
by7
again, but this time round the result to four significant figures using theprint()
function.

What other arguments can I use with the `print()` function in R?
Can you explain more about how the `digits` argument works?
Why does R automatically display results without using `print()`?
