Broadly speaking these are Data Structures available in R:

  • Vector
    • vector is a sequence of data elements of the same basic type. Members in a vector are called components.
  • List
    • Lists are the R objects which contain elements of different types like − numbers, strings, vectors or another list inside it.
  • Matrix
    • matrix is a two-dimensional data structure. Matrices are used to bind vectors from the same length.  All the elements of a matrix must be of the same type (numeric, logical, character, complex).
  • Dataframe
    • data frame is more generic than a matrix, i.e different columns can have different data types(numeric, character, logical, etc).
    • data frame combines features of matrices and lists. In fact we can consider a data frame as a rectangular list.
