Comparing total winnings

Oops, it seems like you are losing money. Time to rethink and adapt your strategy! This will require some deeper analysis...

After a short brainstorm in your hotel's jacuzzi, you realize that a possible explanation might be that your skills in roulette are not as well developed as your skills in poker. So maybe your total gains in poker are higher (or > ) than in roulette.

Instruction

# Poker and roulette winnings from Monday to Friday: poker_vector <- c(140, -50, 20, -120, 240) roulette_vector <- c(-24, -50, 100, -350, 10) days_vector <- c("Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday") names(poker_vector) <- days_vector names(roulette_vector) <- days_vector # Calculate total gains for poker and roulette total_poker <- total_roulette <- # Check if you realized higher total gains in poker than in roulette # Poker and roulette winnings from Monday to Friday: poker_vector <- c(140, -50, 20, -120, 240) roulette_vector <- c(-24, -50, 100, -350, 10) days_vector <- c("Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday") names(poker_vector) <- days_vector names(roulette_vector) <- days_vector # Calculate total gains for poker and roulette total_poker <- sum(poker_vector) total_roulette <- sum(roulette_vector) # Check if you realized higher total gains in poker than in roulette total_poker > total_roulette msg <- "Do not change anything about the definition and naming of `poker_vector` and `roulette_vector`." test_object("days_vector", undefined_msg = msg, incorrect_msg = msg) test_object("poker_vector", eq_condition = "equal", undefined_msg = msg, incorrect_msg = msg) test_object("roulette_vector", eq_condition = "equal", undefined_msg = msg, incorrect_msg = msg) test_object("total_poker", incorrect_msg = "Make sure that you assign to `total_poker` the sum of the `poker_vector`.

To check if `total_poker` is greater than `total_roulette`, you can use `total_poker > total_roulette`.") success_msg("Good job! Continue to the next exercise.")
  • You partly calculated the answer to this question in the previous exercise already!
  • To check if 6 is larger than 5, you type 6 > 5. This returns a logical value (TRUE or FALSE).
