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) {
    
    # Body
    ncol_num <- .data %>%
    
        # Select a type of variables
        select(where(is.numeric)) %>%
    
        # Count columns
        ncol()
    
    # Return new vatible
    return(ncol_num)
    
}

flights %>% count_ncol_numeric()
## [1] 14
flights %>% .[1:10, 1:5] %>% count_ncol_numeric()
## [1] 5
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") {
        
        # Body
        ncol_type <- .data %>%
    
             # Select a type of variables
            select(where(is.character)) %>%
    
             # Count columns
            ncol()
        
    }
    
    
    # Return new vatible
    return(ncol_type)
    
}

flights %>% count_ncol_type()
## [1] 14
flights %>% count_ncol_type(type_data = "character")
## [1] 4
flights %>% .[1:10, 1:5] %>% count_ncol_type(type_data = "character")
## [1] 0

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 varible
    return(nrow_num)
}

flights %>% .[1:10, "carrier"] %>% 
count_num_flights_by_carrier(carrier_name = "AA")
## [1] 2

code snippets

Use the filter() function to select rows that meet a condition. Refer to Chapter 5.2 Filter rows with filter()

nrow_num <- data %>%
    
    filter(home_team == "Sweden") %>%
    nrow()

nrow_num
## [1] 25

Turn them into a function

wins_by_country <- function(.data, country) {
    
    nrow_num <- data %>%
    
    filter(home_team == country) %>%
    nrow()

return(nrow_num)
}

data %>% .[1:50, "home_team"] %>%
    wins_by_country(country = "Sweden")
