Naming a matrix

To help you remember what is stored in star_wars_matrix, you would like to add the names of the movies for the rows. Not only does this help you to read the data, but it is also useful to select certain elements from the matrix.

Similar to vectors, you can add names for the rows and the columns of a matrix

rownames(my_matrix) <- row_names_vector
colnames(my_matrix) <- col_names_vector

We went ahead and prepared two vectors for you: region, and titles. You will need these vectors to name the columns and rows of star_wars_matrix, respectively.

Instructions

100 XP
  • 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.
