The “data.frame” Function in R

• Package: Base R (no specific package required)

• Purpose: Creates a data frame, a two-dimensional structure for storing data with rows and columns.

• General Class: Data Manipulation

• Required Argument(s):

• Named vectors, matrices, or other objects that should be columns in the data frame.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• None

• Example:

• # Example data for using the data.frame function
  names <- c("Alice", "Bob", "Charlie")
  ages <- c(25, 30, 22)
  
  # Create a data frame with two columns
  df <- data.frame(Name = names, Age = ages)
  
  # Display the result
  print(df)

• In this example, the data.frame function is used to create a data frame (df) with two columns, “Name” and “Age.” The columns are populated with data from the vectors names and ages. The resulting object is a data frame that is a fundamental structure for handling tabular data in R.
