# --3-Matrices

&#x20;\#1-What's a matrix?

```r
#Construct a matrix with 3 rows containing the numbers 1 up to 9, 
# filled row-wise.
matrix(1:9,byrow=TRUE,nrow=3)
```

&#x20;\#2-Analyzing matrices

```r
#Use c(new_hope, empire_strikes, return_jedi) to combine-
#the three vectors into one vector. Call this vector box_office.
#Construct a matrix with 3 rows, where each row represents a movie. 
#Use the matrix() function to this. 
#The first argument is the vector box_office, containing 
#all box office figures. 
#Next, you'll have to specify nrow = 3 and byrow = TRUE. 
#Name the resulting matrix star_wars_matrix.

# Box office Star Wars (in millions!)
  new_hope <-c( 460.998 , 314.4 )
  empire_strikes <- c(290.475, 247.900)
  return_jedi <- c(309.306, 165.8)
  
# Create box_office
  box_office <-c(new_hope,empire_strikes,return_jedi) 
  
# Construct star_wars_matrix
  star_wars_matrix <- matrix(box_office,byrow=TRUE,nrow=3)
  star_wars_matrix
```

&#x20;\#3-Naming a matrix

```r
#Use colnames() to name the columns of star_wars_matrix with 
#the region vector.
#Use rownames() to name the rows of star_wars_matrix with the 
#titles vector.
#Print out star_wars_matrix to see the result of your work.
    
# Box office Star Wars (in millions!)
  new_hope <- c(460.998, 314.4)
  empire_strikes <- c(290.475, 247.900)
  return_jedi <- c(309.306, 165.8)
  
  # Construct matrix
  star_wars_matrix <- matrix(c(new_hope, empire_strikes, return_jedi), 
  nrow = 3, byrow = TRUE)
  
  # Vectors region and titles, used for naming
  region <- c("US", "non-US")
  titles <- c("A New Hope", "The Empire Strikes Back", 
  "Return of the Jedi")
  
  # Name the columns with region
  colnames(star_wars_matrix)<-region
  
  # Name the rows with titles
  rownames(star_wars_matrix)<-titles
  
  # Print out star_wars_matrix
  star_wars_matrix
```

&#x20;\#4-Calculating the worldwide box office

```r
#Calculate the worldwide box office figures for 
#the three movies and put these in the vector named worldwide_vector.

 # Construct star_wars_matrix
  box_office <-c(460.998, 314.4, 290.475, 247.900, 309.306, 165.8)
  star_wars_matrix <- matrix(box_office, nrow = 3, byrow = TRUE,
  dimnames = list(c("A New Hope", "The Empire Strikes Back", 
  "Return of the Jedi"), 
  c("US", "non-US")))
  
 star_wars_matrix
  
  # Calculate worldwide box office figures
  worldwide_vector <- rowSums(star_wars_matrix)
  worldwide_vector
```

&#x20;\#5-Adding a column for the Worldwide box office

```r
#Add worldwide_vector as a new column to the star_wars_matrix and 
#assign the result to all_wars_matrix. 
#Use the cbind() function.

# Construct star_wars_matrix
  box_office <- c(460.998, 314.4, 290.475, 247.900, 309.306, 165.8)

  dimnames = list(c("A New Hope", "The Empire Strikes Back", 
  "Return of the Jedi"), 
  c("US", "non-US")))
  
  star_wars_matrix
  
  # The worldwide box office figures
  worldwide_vector <- rowSums(star_wars_matrix)
  worldwide_vector
  
  # Bind the new variable worldwide_vector as a column to 
  #star_wars_matrix
  all_wars_matrix <- cbind(star_wars_matrix,worldwide_vector)
  all_wars_matrix
```

&#x20;\#6-Adding a row

```r
#Use rbind() to paste together star_wars_matrix and star_wars_matrix2, 
#in this order. 
#Assign the resulting matrix to all_wars_matrix. 

# Construct star_wars_matrix1
    box_office <- c(460.998, 314.4, 290.475, 247.900, 309.306, 165.8)

  star_wars_matrix2 
  
  # Combine both Star Wars trilogies in one matrix
