Report
median() function in R Language is used to calculate the median of the elements of the numeric vector passed as argument.
Syntax: median(x, na.rm) Parameters: x: Numeric Vector na.rm: Boolean value to ignore NA
Example 1: Python3 1== 
# R program to calculate median of a vector  # Creating vector x1 <- c(2, 3, 5, 7, 4, 8, 6) x2 <- c(-3, -5, 6, 2, -4)  # Calling median() function median(x1) median(x2)
Output: 
  [1] 5  [1] -3
Example 2: Python3 1== 
# R program to calculate median of a vector  # Creating vector x <- c(2, 3, 5, NA, 4, NA, 6)  # Calling median() function # with NA values included median(x, na.rm = FALSE)  # Calling median() function # with NA values excluded median(x, na.rm = TRUE)
Output: 
  [1] NA  [1] 4
