How to make a boxplot in R

[james5431]

Hi
I'm brand new to R and just trying to 'fumble' my way through it!
I'm trying to create two boxplots of two columns of data.
Col 1 Country, Col 2 2018, Col 3 2019.
16 countries listed and 16 entries for both 2018 and 2019. (e.g. Range 2018 72-2087)
I'm just using boxplot(2018,2019) is that correct?
Why are they flat lines with decimal fractions of years on Y axis?
How do I turn these around?
Any help much appreciated

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…
