Can you discuss how vectorization works in R and its advantages?
- Vectorization allows operations to be applied to entire vectors without the need for explicit loops
- Vectorization ensures faster and more efficient computations in R
- Vectorized code is concise and easier to read
- All of the above
Vectorization in R is the concept of performing operations on entire vectors without the need for explicit loops. Instead of iterating over individual elements, R applies the operation to the entire vector at once, taking advantage of optimized internal functions. Vectorized code is more concise, easier to read, and can significantly improve computational efficiency, as it leverages the underlying C code in R's internal functions.
