Get the Minimum and Maximum element of a Vector in R Programming – range() Function

range() function in R Programming Language is used to get the minimum and maximum values of the vector passed to it as an argument.

Syntax: range(x, na.rm, finite)

Parameters:

• x: Numeric Vector
• na.rm: Boolean value to remove NA
• finite: Boolean value to exclude non-finite elements

R – range() Function Examples

Example 1: Get the Minimum and Maximum element of a Vector using range() Function in R language

R

# R program to find the
# minimum and maximum element of a vector

# Creating a vector
x <- c(8, 2, 5, 4, 9, 6, 54, 18)

# Calling range() function
range(x)

Output:

[1]  2 54

Example 2: Using range() Function in R programming with NA 

R

# R program to find the
# minimum and maximum element of a vector

# Creating a vector
x <- c(8, 2, Inf, 5, 4, NA, 9, 54, 18)

# Calling range() function
range(x)

# Calling range() function
# excluding NA values
range(x, na.rm = TRUE)

# Calling range() function
# excluding finite values
range(x, na.rm = TRUE, finite = TRUE)

Output:

[1] NA NA
[1]   2 Inf
[1]  2 54
