Consider a case where we want to get the content type of a file in Golang for whatever reasons. In order to do that, we must first know how to open the file and read some of its bytes into a buffer slice which we will then pass to a function that will help us in detecting the type of the file.The first step is to open the file whose type we want to check.Open the FileConsider that we have a file named sample.pdf whose contentType is what we want to know.

Be default, the boxplot created in base R or by using ggplot2 are not transparent in nature. If we want to create a transparent boxplot then we can use bwplot function from lattice package.For Example, if we have a vector called X then we can create transparent boxplot of X by using the below command −bwplot(x)Example 1To create transparent boxplot use the snippet given below −library(lattice) bwplot(rnorm(1000))OutputIf you execute the above given snippet, it generates the following Output −Example 2To create transparent boxplot add the following code to the above snippet −library(lattice) bwplot(rpois(1000, 5))OutputIf you execute all the above given ...

Any numerical data can be divided into four parts (four quarters) by using three quartiles, first quartile at 25%, second quartile at 50% and third quartile at 75% hence there will be four quarters to represent first 25%, second 25%, third 25% and the last 25% in a set of data.If we want to find the quartile (1 to 4) for each value in an R data frame column then we can use the quantile function and cut function as shown in the Examples given below.Example 1Following snippet creates a sample data frame −x

If we have a data frame that contains a column of column names which matches with the column names of a data frame and another column that has different values then we can set these different values as the new column names of the data frame having matched column names.This can be done with the help of match function. Check out the below Examples to understand how it works.Example 1Following snippet creates a sample data frame −x1

Generally, the duplicate values are considered after first occurrence but the first occurrence of a value is also a duplicate of the remaining. Therefore, we might want to exclude that as well.The subsetting of non-duplicate values from an R data frame column can be easily done with the help of duplicated function with negation operator as shown in the below Examples.Example 1Following snippet creates a sample data frame −x
