Here we are creating a new object from an existing one:
new_rivers <- sample(rivers, 5)
new_rivers
-## [1] 350 652 500 570 435
+## [1] 315 625 490 2533 680
Using just this will only print the result and not actually change new_rivers
:
new_rivers + 1
-## [1] 351 653 501 571 436
+## [1] 316 626 491 2534 681
If we want to modify new_rivers
and save that modified version, then we need to reassign new_rivers
like so:
new_rivers <- new_rivers + 1
new_rivers
-## [1] 351 653 501 571 436
+## [1] 316 626 491 2534 681
If we forget to reassign this can cause subsequent steps to not work as expected because we will not be working with the data that has been modified.
Make sure you run something like this, with the <-
operator:
rivers2 <- new_rivers + 1
rivers2
-## [1] 352 654 502 572 437
+## [1] 317 627 492 2535 682
