A list in R can have large number of elements and also of different types. If we have a list that contain vectors and we want to check which list element contains a particular value then we can use which function along with sapply function.For Example, if we have a list called LIST then we can find which element of LIST contains 5 then we can use the command given below −which(sapply(LIST, FUN=function(X) 5 %in% X))Example 1Consider the List given below −List1

The default boxplot in R has straight border line type that display end point(s) excluding outliers. To change these border lines from a boxplot, we can use staplelty argument.For Example, if we have a vector called X then we can create the boxplot of X with different border line type by using the command boxplot(X,staplelty=15). The argument can take different values. Check out the below Examples to understand how it works.ExampleConsider the below vector −x
