What is a list in R?
- An ordered collection of elements of the same data type
- A variable that can store multiple values of different data types
- A data structure that organizes data in a hierarchical manner
- A function that performs operations on a set of data
In R, a list is a versatile data structure that can store multiple values of different data types. Unlike vectors, which can only contain elements of the same data type, lists in R can hold elements of any type, including vectors, matrices, other lists, and even functions. Lists provide flexibility in organizing and storing heterogeneous data.
