Create Data frame functions

Example 1: count columns

code snippets

ncol_num <- flights %>%
    
    # Select a type of variables
    select(where(is.numeric)) %>%
    
    # Count columns
    ncol()

ncol_num
## [1] 14

Turn them into a function

count_ncol_numeric <- function(.data) {
    
    ncol_num <- .data %>%
        
        # Select a type of variables
        select(where(is.numeric)) %>%
        
        # Count columns
        ncol()
    
    # return the new variable
    return(ncol_num)
        
}

flights %>% count_ncol_numeric()
## [1] 14
flights %>% .[1:10 , -1:-13] %>% count_ncol_numeric()
## [1] 4

Adding arguments for details of operation

count_ncol_type <- function(.data, type_data = "numeric") {
    
    #if statement for type of variables
    if(type_data == "numeric") {
        #body
        ncol_type <- .data %>%
            
            # Select a type of variables
            select(where(is.numeric)) %>%
            
            # Count columns
            ncol()
    } else if (type_data == "character") {
        
          ncol_type <- .data %>%
        
        # Select a type of variables
        select(where(is.character)) %>%
        
        # Count columns
        ncol()
    }
    
    
    # return the new variable
    return(ncol_type)
        
}

flights %>% count_ncol_type()

flights %>% count_ncol_type(type_data = "character")
## [1] 4
flights %>% .[1:10, 1:5] %>% count_ncol_type(type_data = "character")

Example 2: count rows

code snippets

nrow_num <- flights %>%
    
    # filter rows that meet a condition
    filter(carrier == "UA") %>%
    
    # Count rows
    nrow()


nrow_num
## [1] 58665

Turn them into a function

count_num_flights_by_carrier <- function(.data, carrier_name) {
    
        # body
        nrow_num <- .data %>%
        
        # filter rows that meet a condition
        filter(carrier == carrier_name) %>%
        
        # Count rows
        nrow()

    # return the new variables
    return(nrow_num)
}

flights %>% .[1:10, "carrier"] %>% 
    count_num_flights_by_carrier(carrier_name = "UA")

Example 3: count rows

code snippets

nrow_close <- prices %>%
    
    # filter rows that meet a condition
    filter(close == 200) %>%
    
    # Count rows
    nrow()


nrow_close
## [1] 2

Turn them into a function

count_num_prices_close <- function(.data, close) {
    
        # body
        nrow_close <- .data %>%
        
        # filter rows that meet a condition
        filter(close == 200) %>%
