I am using overleaf to compile my R codes into a pdf file. For a chunk of code, we use for example:

<<>>=
mean(reading)
max(reading)
min(reading)
@

But now I want to use these commands inline. I want my output to be like:

"The mean of the data is mean(reading), the maximum is max(reading), and the minimum is min(reading)", where the mean(reading) etc will directly print the output of the command inline. But I don't quite know how to do that.

Please help, and I apologize if this seems trivial, for I am quite new to R.

THANK YOU

  • @DavidCarlisle But the chunk I mentioned in the question works in overleaf if we just add the extension .RTex instead of .Tex in the file in overleaf.

As mentioned in the document in the link posted by David Carlisle in the comments, using $\Sexpr{command}$ works.

For example, if we need the mean of the data inline, we can say, "The mean of the data is $\Sexpr{mean(reading)}$" and same for other commands.

Thanks a lot for helping out.

    The output of a function as mean() alone could be a bad idea for inline texts (supposedly to be read for humans). Some rounding, according to the size of mean, is more than advisable to avoid a ridiculous precision (e.g.: \Sexpr{round(mean(x),2)} € to type 9,45 € instead of 9,45226283 €).
