Column 7 of "oded" is "Breed". If I enter
summary(Breed)
I get the counts of the numbers in each breed.
However, if I enter
I have tried
hist($Breed)
Error: unexpected '$' in "hist($"
hist(Breed)
Error in hist(Breed) : object 'Breed' not found
hist("Breed")
Error in hist.default("Breed") : 'x' must be numeric
FYI
colnames(oded)
[1] "Subject.Name" "Date" "Species"
"Age" "Sex"
[6] "Spayed....Neutered" "Breed" "Breed.Code"
How do I get a histogram of the counts in column 7?
Are you for real, or is this some kind of joke?
Assuming it's not a joke:
(1) Look at ?"$".
(2) WTF do you expect hist($Breed) to do? Where is "Breed" going to be
found, for pity's sake? You appear to have no understanding of how R
(or any programming language) works.
Read the Introduction to R manual and *get* some understanding if you
are going to use R.
(3) The correct usage obviously (and I mean ***really***; it *IS*
obvious) is hist(oded$Breed) --- which tells hist() where to find "Breed".
(4) You could also use
with(oded,hist(Breed))
which is a useful syntax in some circumstances.
