adding rows to data table using for loop in R












0















I am playing with some basic R functions and am trying to create a table that includes the Remainder and Quotient for the numbers 1:20
First I created this function:



Find_Remains = function(number, divisor){
Remainder = number%%divisor
Quotient = number%/%divisor
a = c(number, divisor, Remainder, Quotient)
return(a)
}


I add a blank table



final.data.frame = data.frame(matrix(NA, nrow = 1, ncol = 4))


Then I created this for loop



for(i in c(1:20)){
b[i] = Find_Remains(i,5)
final.data.frame = rbind(b[i])
}


the error I get is:



number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length


any help would be appreciated. Thanks

          Kudos on initializing final.data.frame (although initializing it with 20 rows would have been better I think). Having done that you don't need to use rbind, you can simply replace each row of the dataframe in every loop run. Here's what you need -



          Find_Remains = function(number, divisor) {
          Remainder = number%%divisor
          Quotient = number%/%divisor
          a = c(number, divisor, Remainder, Quotient)
          return(a)
          }

          final.data.frame = data.frame(matrix(NA, nrow = 20, ncol = 4))

          for(i in 1:20) {
          final.data.frame[i, ] = Find_Remains(i,5)
          }

          > final.data.frame
          X1 X2 X3 X4
          1 1 5 1 0
          2 2 5 2 0
          3 3 5 3 0
