How is the load function used in the R language?
In R, the load() function is used to load R objects stored in files into the current working environment. Its syntax is as follows:
load(file, envir = parent.frame())
Parameter Description:
- file: the name of the file to be loaded, which can be an R data file (.RData) or an R object file (.rda or .rds).
- envir: Specifies where the objects to be loaded should be stored, defaulting to the parent environment of the current environment.
The load() function can easily load previously saved R objects into the current working environment for further data processing and analysis.
