2 Calculations in R

Consider a very simple example:
How many calves can be fed by calf feeders per year?

Inputs

• Define inputs to calculate calves
  • number of feeders: default = 2
  • number of calves: default = 30
  • days calves are fed by the feeder: default = 60

num_feeders <- 2 
num_calves <- 30 
days_on_feeder <- 60 

Calculations

• Calculate
  • total number of calves that can be fed in a given point of time
  • groups of calves that can be turned over a year
  • calves that can be fed per year

calves_total <- num_feeders * num_calves
group_turns <- 365/days_on_feeder
calves_yr <- calves_total * group_turns

Outputs

• Display calculated values

calves_total

## [1] 60

group_turns 

## [1] 6.083333

calves_yr

## [1] 365
