The “array” Function in R

• Package: Base R (no specific package required)

• Purpose: Creates an array, a multi-dimensional extension of a matrix.

• General Class: Data Manipulation

• Required Argument(s):

• The data to be used in the array.

• dim: A vector specifying the dimensions (number of rows, columns, etc.) of the array.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• dimnames: A list with the names for the dimensions.

• ...: Additional arguments for methods.

• Example:

• # Example data for using the array function
  values <- 1:24
  
  # Create a 3D array with dimensions 2x3x4
  my_array <- array(values, dim = c(2, 3, 4))
  
  # Display the result
  print(my_array)

• In this example, the array function is used to create a 3D array (my_array) with dimensions 2x3x4. The values vector is filled into the array, and the dim argument specifies the dimensions. Arrays in R can have more than two dimensions, providing a flexible structure for organizing and manipulating multi-dimensional data.
