How to combine data frames horizontally in R
Overview
In this shot, we take a look at combining two or more data frames horizontally in R.
Combining data frames
The cbind() function combines data frames horizontally in R.
Syntax
cbind(dataframe1, dataframe2)
Parameter value
The cbind() function takes two or more parameter values that represent the respective data frames to be combined horizontally.
Return value
The cbind() function returns horizontally combined data frames.
Code example
# creating the 1st data frameMy_Data_Frame1 <- data.frame (Height = c("Tall", "Average", "short"),Body_structure = c("Meso", "Endo", "Ecto"),Age = c(35, 30, 45))# creating the 2nd data frameMy_Data_Frame2 <- data.frame (Height = c("Average", "Tall", "short"),Body_structure = c("Endo", "Endo", "Ecto"),Age = c(20, 30, 45))# combining the data framesNew_Data_Frame <- cbind(My_Data_Frame1, My_Data_Frame2)New_Data_Frame
Code explanation
- Line 2: We create a data frame object named
My_Data_Frame1with three columns. - Line 9: We create a second data frame object named
My_Data_Frame2with three columns as well. - Line 16: We combine
My_Data_Frame1andMy_Data_Frame2horizontally using thecbind()function. The output is assigned to another variable,New_Data_Frame. - Line 17: We print the newly created data frame named
New_Data_Frame.
