# R range() Function - Calculate Numeric Range [ R Language Examples](https://example.com/r/r-examples.html) The R range() function is used to return the minimum and maximum values of elements in a vector. It returns a vector containing two values at once, which is more convenient than calling min() and max() separately. The syntax of the range() function is as follows: range(x, na.rm = FALSE) **Parameter Description:** * **x** Input vector. * **na.rm** Boolean value, default is FALSE, specifies whether to remove missing values NA. ## Example # Create a vector x <-c(12, 27, 3, 4.2, 2, 2, 54, -21, 4, -2) # Calculate the range result.range<-range(x) print(result.range) # Calculate the range (max minus min) print(diff(result.range)) The output of executing the above code is: -21 54 75 range() is particularly useful when plotting, and can be used to set the axis range: ## Example # Create data x <-1:10 y <-c(3, 7, 2, 9, 15, 8, 12, 5, 18, 10) # View the range of y y_range <-range(y) print(y_range) # Use range to extend the axis range plot(x, y, type ="o", ylim =c(y_range-1, y_range+1), main ="Line chart with range()") The output of executing the above code is: 2 18 [ R Language Examples](https://example.com/r/r-examples.html)
