The “cbind” Function in R

• Package: Base R (no specific package required)

• Purpose: Combines vectors, matrices, or data frames by column.

• General Class: Data Manipulation

• Required Argument(s):

• Vectors, matrices, or data frames to be combined by column.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• None

• Example:

• # Example data for using the cbind function
  names <- c("Alice", "Bob", "Charlie")
  ages <- c(25, 30, 22)
  
  # Combine two vectors into a matrix by column
  combined_matrix <- cbind(Names = names, Ages = ages)
  
  # Display the result
  print(combined_matrix)

• In this example, the cbind function is used to combine two vectors (names and ages) into a matrix (combined_matrix) by column. The resulting matrix has two columns, one for names and one for ages. The cbind function is commonly used for combining data in a column-wise fashion, especially when working with data frames or matrices.
