70+ great R functions to add to your scripts!
Featured function 1
Add one-line code in your R script to clear environment, clear console, set working directory and load files
Featured function 2
Create a super variable with unique capability and wide scope
✅ Some Quick R Examples
# Use the nullish coalescing operator using "or()" or "%or%"
ex.V1 <- 5
ex.V2 <- NA
ex.V3 <- NULL
ex.V4 <- ""
alternative <- 500
# Give an alternative result if the test is NULL NA or empty
or(ex.V1,alternative) # result will give 5 because ex.V1 is not NULL NA or empty
ex.V1 %or% alternative # result will give 5 because ex.V1 is not NULL NA or empty
ex.V2 %or% alternative # result will give 500 because ex.V2 is NA
ex.V3 %or% alternative # result will give 500 because ex.V3 is NULL
ex.V4 %or% alternative # result will give 500 because ex.V4 is empty
# Further chaining
ex.V2 %or% ex.V1 %or% alternative # result will be 5 because ex.V2 is NA but ex.V1 is 5
ex.V2 %or% ex.V3 %or% alternative # result will be 500 because ex.V2 is NA and ex.V3 is NULL

#simple conversion between boolean types
#input type is "vector"
baba <- c(TRUE,"y","n","YES","yes",FALSE,"f","F","T","t")
as.boolean(baba,1) # return vector as Yes/No
as.boolean(baba,2) # return vector as TRUE/FALSE
as.boolean(baba,3) # return vector as 1/0
#apply the yesNoBool to convert between boolean
#input type is "data.frame"
usedata <- data.frame(ID = number(32))
usedata #view the dataset
usedata$yess = rep(c("yes","n","no","YES","No","NO","yES","Y"),4) #create a new column
usedata #view the modified dataset
#set all yess field as standardize boolean
yesNoBool(usedata,yess, type="bin") #set all as binary 1/0
yesNoBool(usedata,yess, type="log") #set all as logical TRUE/FALSE
#initialize one or more variables
print(g) # Error: object 'g' not found

print(g) # g = NULL
print(h) # h = NULL
init(r,y,u,b,value = 5)

#add keys to a vector content for use in downstream processes

# Introducing the super variable
# store dataset that should not be altered
newSuperVar(mtdf, value = austres) # create a super variable
head(mtdf) # view it
mtdf.class # view the store class of the variable, it cannot be changed
# it means that when the super variable is edited, the new value MUST have the same class
# create and lock super variable by default
# extra security to prevent changing
newSuperVar(mtdf3, value = beaver1, lock = TRUE)
head(mtdf3) # view
mtdf3.round(1) # round to 1 decimal places
head(mtdf3) # view
mtdf3.signif(2) # round to 2 significant digits
head(mtdf3) # view
# Task: create a new super variable to store numbers
# edit the numbers from various scopes
newSuperVar(edtvec, value = number(5))
edtvec # view content of the vector
# edtvec.set(letters) #ERROR: Cannot set to value with different class than initial value
edtvec.set(number(20)) # set to new numbers
edtvec # view output
for (pu in 1:8) {
print(edtvec) # view output within loop
edtvec.set(number(pu)) # set to new numbers within for loop
}
lc <- lapply(1:8, function(pu) {
print(edtvec) # view output within loop
edtvec.set(number(pu)) # set to new numbers within lapply loop
})
# see that the above changed the super variable easily.
# local variable will not be altered by the loop
# example
bim <- 198
lc <- lapply(1:8, function(j) {
print(bim)
bim <- j # will not alter the value of bim in next round
})
#check if the entry is not integer
not.integer(45) #returns TRUE
not.integer(45.) #returns TRUE
not.integer(45L) #returns FALSE
not.null(45L) #returns TRUE
not.null(h<-NULL) #returns FALSE
#clear R environment, set directory and load data
#note: the code below also automatically loads the quickcode library so that all other functions within package can be used easily

print(p1)

print(p1)
#remove columns from a data frame in one code
p1 <- data.frame(ID=1:10,ID2=1:10,ID4=1:10,CD=11:20,BD=21:30)

print(p1)

print(p1)
And many more useful functions including list_shuffle, in.range ...
