How does R handle matrices that contain elements of different data types?
- R coerces the elements to the most flexible type within the matrix
- R assigns each element a unique data type within the matrix
- R throws an error if a matrix contains elements of different data types
- None of the above
When a matrix is created in R with elements of different data types, R coerces the elements to the most flexible type within the matrix. This means that if the matrix contains elements of different data types, R will automatically convert them to a common type that can accommodate all the values in the matrix.
