Question

Two vectors X and Y are defined as follows – X <- c(3, 2, 4) and Y <- c(1, 2). What will be output of

vector Z that is defined as Z <- X*Y.

Answer 1

In R language when the vectors have different lengths, the multiplication begins with the smaller vector and continues till all the elements in the larger vector have been multiplied.

The output of the above code will be –

Z <- (3, 4, 4)
