How to add a new column to a matrix in R?

R Programming Server Side Programming Programming

A data collection process is one of the initial and very important tasks in a data analysis project and sometimes we miss something. Therefore, we need to collect that data later and add it to the originally collected data. This mistake can be done for matrix data as well, hence we might need to add a new column to original matrix and this can be done by using cbind function.

Live Demo

> M1<-matrix(1:25,nrow=5)
> M1

Output

   [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,] 1 6 11 16 21
[2,] 2 7 12 17 22
[3,] 3 8 13 18 23
[4,] 4 9 14 19 24
[5,] 5 10 15 20 25

Example

> V1<-26:30
> M1<-cbind(M1,V1)
> M1

Output

V1
[1,] 1 6 11 16 21 26
[2,] 2 7 12 17 22 27
[3,] 3 8 13 18 23 28
[4,] 4 9 14 19 24 29
[5,] 5 10 15 20 25 30
