How to extract the first n values of all elements of a list in R?
To extract the first n values of all elements of a list in R, we can follow the below steps −
First of all, create a list.
Then, use head function with sapply function to extract the first n values of all elements in the list.
Example 1
Create the list
Let’s create a list as shown below −
List1<- list(v1=sample(1:100,150,replace=TRUE),v2=sample(1:100,150,replace=TRUE),v3=sample(1:100,150,replace=TRUE),v4=sample(1:100,150,replace=TRUE)) List1
Output
On executing, the above script generates the below output(this output will vary on your system due to randomization) −
$v1 [1] 22 60 21 92 95 24 76 48 86 4 76 42 68 45 59 53 36 48 [19] 38 8 76 13 7 73 49 76 92 10 97 34 8 77 78 68 77 5 [37] 9 14 87 9 80 86 82 51 71 41 63 77 5 10 56 37 28 37 [55] 47 27 1 50 85 47 71 74 51 26 98 35 30 71 69 99 69 34 [73] 100 29 97 97 98 61 65 89 56 76 45 67 97 62 53 45 8 47 [91] 38 75 78 20 6 6 38 15 17 97 43 28 18 66 87 72 83 94 [109] 51 8 49 100 43 65 65 100 69 15 41 58 16 60 98 52 82 68 [127] 57 79 16 38 85 26 30 62 94 34 65 1 90 36 55 95 77 63 [145] 11 25 63 87 19 51 $v2 [1] 95 48 62 98 8 91 56 34 9 57 9 12 83 95 55 99 19 32 [19] 38 7 42 100 24 9 35 28 16 13 79 72 59 26 58 49 7 43 [37] 72 82 84 70 25 27 93 27 13 91 78 46 25 51 21 48 77 52 [55] 66 87 75 97 98 97 24 87 46 90 9 55 41 63 63 6 33 12 [73] 61 29 23 92 68 13 38 63 17 57 50 55 52 77 46 37 47 89 [91] 39 66 64 45 73 89 61 63 88 68 62 24 63 74 55 13 45 9 [109] 8 57 10 17 12 60 67 23 83 15 28 60 90 83 92 10 66 3 [127] 67 76 60 34 10 55 80 74 95 19 90 20 54 8 68 100 3 20 [145] 68 21 80 10 34 95 $v3 [1] 80 1 60 6 22 17 98 92 57 27 76 53 46 11 21 93 79 57 6 95 41 28 87 56 57 [26] 23 60 13 98 31 91 48 67 57 7 49 16 52 27 35 76 78 45 72 38 81 38 78 22 62 [51] 49 98 43 21 82 61 39 66 4 73 17 19 96 82 65 59 72 3 67 17 68 74 59 98 45 [76] 39 51 40 93 12 39 89 14 74 37 81 86 31 83 28 53 26 26 7 53 76 9 78 33 7 [101] 63 39 2 31 27 91 68 60 48 64 71 44 5 2 93 76 12 79 24 56 5 4 29 72 4 [126] 66 10 45 70 9 17 41 17 94 45 98 11 1 68 76 21 10 94 75 82 61 69 36 23 3 $v4 [1] 12 72 69 5 4 49 84 74 93 24 50 14 22 76 31 51 96 26 [19] 48 68 39 94 44 26 32 56 82 64 77 84 85 15 66 10 18 49 [37] 49 29 84 4 36 78 29 60 7 74 48 38 73 18 53 39 8 55 [55] 73 62 42 81 36 91 3 16 87 98 61 35 43 100 82 12 65 48 [73] 28 86 15 30 61 49 87 55 14 64 1 83 54 46 92 53 31 63 [91] 55 23 29 71 59 50 26 30 81 15 19 16 97 51 54 49 44 9 [109] 69 22 99 9 45 3 37 42 17 87 8 84 13 26 68 47 88 88 [127] 54 100 12 24 89 38 66 24 75 33 23 68 61 68 81 56 94 45 [145] 71 26 23 38 7 93
Extract the first n values of all elements in the list
Using head function with sapply function to extract the first 10 values of all elements in List1 −
List1<- list(v1=sample(1:100,150,replace=TRUE),v2=sample(1:100,150,replace=TRUE),v3=sample(1:100,150,replace=TRUE),v4=sample(1:100,150,replace=TRUE)) sapply(List1,head,10)
Output
v1 v2 v3 v4 [1,] 79 15 21 26 [2,] 56 66 82 2 [3,] 8 19 96 68 [4,] 97 35 29 79 [5,] 97 98 55 78 [6,] 22 21 42 99 [7,] 69 55 44 74 [8,] 16 88 63 38 [9,] 69 69 30 69 [10,] 94 41 70 35
