Hi there
I am in an intro to R course and the professor has not been much help. One of
the questions on the latest homework has me stumped. The question is below,
along with my answers so far.
8. [15 points] Given the following code,
#
# x <- rnorm(10)
#
# Do the following.
#
# (1) create a count vector named "count" of four elements and set
each to 0 using the rep function.
# (2) using a for loop to process each value in the vector x, count how many
times each of the following values occur in the vector x using an if statement.
# a. "value is between -1 and 1 inclusive"
# b. "value is between -2 and 2 inclusive, but not between -1 and 1",
# c. "value is between -3 and 3 inclusive, but not between -2 and -2",
or
# d. "value is greater than 3 or less than -3".
# (3) print each of the four counts in the count vector using a while loop.
#
# For example, if the vector x contains the following ten values,
#
# 1.1478911 1.6183994 -2.3790632 -0.2566993 0.8923735
# -0.7523441 -0.7559083 0.9836396 1.0994189 2.5519972
#
# Then, the output should be as below.
#
# count[1] is 5
# count[2] is 3
# count[3] is 2
# count[4] is 0
x <- rnorm(10)
My answers:
(1) count <- c(rep(0,4))
(2) for (count in x) {
if (x > -1 & x < 1) {
print(count[1])
}
I know there is something wrong with my code for part one but we haven't
gone over anything like this in class and I have struggled to find a video for
something like this. Please point me in the right direction and let me know what
mistakes I have made, thanks so much!

Hi Dan, This list has a "no homework" policy, but as you really do seem to be struggling, I'll suggest that you read the help page for "abs" carefully and learn about "<-" (assign a value). Perhaps these will give you a start.

Hi And above what Jim suggested, count is only a placeholder for results of tasks a-d.
