In this article, let’s discuss how to convert a Matrix to a 1D array in R.
Functions Used
- matrix() function in R is used to create a matrix
Syntax: matrix(data,nrow,ncol,byrow,dimnames)
Parameter:
- data-is the input vector which becomes the data elements of the matrix
- nrow-is the numbers of rows to be created
- ncol-is the numbers of columns to be created
- byrow-is a logical clue,if it is true then input vector elements are arranged by row
- dimname-is the names assigned to rows and columns
- vector() function is used to convert object into vector.
Syntax:
vector(object)
Approach
- Create matrix
- Pass the created matrix to vector function
- Print array
Example 1:
R
rows= c ( "r1" , "r2" )
cols= c ( "c1" , "c2" , "c3" , "c4" )
M= matrix ( c (2:9),nrow=2,byrow= TRUE ,dimnames= list (rows,cols))
print ( "Original matrix:" )
print (M)
output= as.vector (M)
print ( "1D array :" )
print (output)
|
Output
[1] "Original matrix:"
c1 c2 c3 c4
r1 2 3 4 5
r2 6 7 8 9
[1] "1D array :"
[1] 2 6 3 7 4 8 5 9
We can also convert only a given number of rows, for that simply pass the required number as value to nrow.
Example:
R
rows= c ( "r1" , "r2" , "r3" , "r4" )
cols= c ( "c1" , "c2" , "c3" , "c4" )
M= matrix ( c (2:17),nrow=4,byrow= TRUE ,dimnames= list (rows,cols))
print ( "Original matrix:" )
print (M)
output= as.vector (M)
print ( "1D array :" )
print (output)
|
Output:
[1] "Original matrix:"
c1 c2 c3 c4
r1 2 3 4 5
r2 6 7 8 9
r3 10 11 12 13
r4 14 15 16 17
[1] "1D array :"
[1] 2 6 10 14 3 7 11 15 4 8 12 16 5 9 13 17
