Compute the Sum of Rows of a Matrix or Array in R Programming - rowSums Function

rowSums() function in R Language is used to compute the sum of rows of a matrix or an array.

Syntax: rowSums(x, na.rm = FALSE, dims = 1)

Parameters:
x: array or matrix
dims: Integer: Dimensions are regarded as ‘rows’ to sum over. It is over dimensions dims+1, ….

Example 1:

# R program to illustrate 
# rowSums() function 
  
# Initializing a matrix  
x <- matrix(rep(2:10), 3, 3) 
  
# Printing Matrix 
print(x) 
  
# Calling the rowSums() function 
rowSums(x) 

Output:

     [, 1] [, 2] [, 3]
[1, ]    2    5    8
[2, ]    3    6    9
[3, ]    4    7   10
[1] 15 18 21

Example 2:

# R program to illustrate 
# rowSums function 
  
# Initializing a 3D array 
x <- array(1:8, c(2, 2, 2)) 
  
# Printing the array 
print(x) 
  
# Calling the rowSums() function 
rowSums(x, dims = 1) 

Output:

,, 1

     [, 1] [, 2]
[1, ]    1    3
[2, ]    2    4,, 2

     [, 1] [, 2]
[1, ]    5    7
[2, ]    6    8

[1] 16 20
