my_values <- sample(1:5, 200, replace = TRUE)
head(my_values)                               # Show first values of example vector in RStudio console
# [1] 3 1 3 1 2 3

Example: Calculate Percentages in R Using table() & length() Functions

table(my_values) * 100 / length(my_values)    # Calculate percentages
# my_values
