Pipe Operator

The pipe operator (%>%) is a powerful tool for chaining operations in a readable and concise manner. It allows you to pass the left-hand side (lhs) value into the right-hand side (rhs) function call. For detailed information, refer to magrittr::%>%.

Usage

lhs %>% rhs

Arguments

lhs

A value or the magrittr placeholder, representing the initial input to the pipeline.

rhs

A function call or expression that operates on lhs, using magrittr semantics.

Value

The result of evaluating rhs(lhs), enabling seamless chaining of operations.

Examples

# Example: Using the pipe operator to transform data
library(magrittr)
result <- iris %>%
head(10) %>%
subset(Species == "setosa") %>%
summary()
print(result)
