How does R handle vectors that contain elements of different data types?

  • R coerces the elements to the most flexible type
  • R throws an error if a vector contains elements of different data types
  • R automatically converts the elements to a common type based on their values
  • R assigns each element a unique data type within the vector
When a vector in R contains elements of different data types, R coerces the elements to the most flexible type among them. This flexibility is determined by a hierarchy of types, where logical < integer < numeric < character. R will automatically convert the elements to a common type based on this hierarchy, ensuring consistency within the vector.
