Numeric is the basic data type to represent numbers n the R language. Decimal is the default computational data type in R.
You assign a decimal value using the following:
> x=3.1429 Assigns a value 3.1429 to a variable x
> x Print to screen the value of x
[1] 3.1429 Value is printed
>
Arithmetic Operations:
> 2*x -What is 2 times x?
[1] 6.2858
> 2+x -What is 2 added to x?
[1] 5.1429
> x-1 -What is 1 taken away from x?
[1] 2.1429
> x/2 -What is x divided into two?
[1] 1.57145
> x=3.1419
> x^2 -What is x raised to power 2
[1] 9.871536
> x^x -What is x raised to itself
[1] 36.4862
>
>
> sqrt (x^x) -Square root of x raised to itself
[1] 6.040381

So how would you assign an integer value to a varible y?
You do so by using the integer function as shown in the following:
> y=as.integer(6) Assign an integer value of 6 to y
> y Print y to screen
[1] 6
> class(y) Print the class name for y
[1] "integer"
> is.integer(y) test whether y is an integer
[1] TRUE
>
Another way to declare a integer constant is to use an L after the integer you want to declare:
> z=4L -using L after the number declares it as an integer
> class(z) -test the data type of z
[1] "integer"
You can force a decimal value to an integer but cannot force a string to an integer!
> y=as.integer("John") Trying to make "John" to an integer

R can handle all the mathematical functions you have used in your highschool maths like trgnometric, logarthmic fucntions as well.

Can R handle complex numbers?
Yes it can handle complex numbers. Complex numbers can have real and imaginary parts like in,
1+2i, where 1 is the real part and 2i is imaginary
Here is how it is used
> x=1+2i -x is a complex number with real and imaginary parts (it hasto be 2i and not i2)
> y=1-2i -y is another complex number with real and imaginary parts
> x*y -What happens when you multiply them?
[1] 5+0i -you get a real number (real part is 5 and imaginary component is zero
