Matrices 2

As this example illustrates, by default R creates matrices by successively filling in columns. Alternatively, the byrow = TRUE option can be used to populate the matrix in order of the rows.

> x = matrix(data = c(1, 2, 3, 4), nrow = 2, ncol = 2)
> x
    [,1] [,2]
[1,]   1    3
[2,]   2    4

Question

• Create a 2x2 matrix named x with a vector of (1, 2, 3, 4) as the data parameter and set the byrow parameter to TRUE.
