HI, I'm new to R and in need of some help,

Name <- c("Jon", "Bill", "Maria", "Ben", "Tina")
Age <- c(23, 41, 32, 58, 26)
Score <- c(99,42,56,84, 43)

say I have this as my data, how to I extract the name of the person with the highest score.

Thanks

With the data in vectors, you could do the following

Score <- c(99,42,56,84, 43)
Name <- c("Jon", "Bill", "Maria", "Ben", "Tina")
Age <- c(23, 41, 32, 58, 26)
MaxPosition <- which.max(Score)
Name[MaxPosition]
[1] "Jon"
