Let’s see how we can write data frame in CSV file.

library(data.table)

# Create data frame
df <- data.frame(Machine_name=c("A","B","C","D","E","F"),
                 Pressure=c(78.2, 71.7, 80.21, 83.12, 82.56, 79.50),
                 Temperature=c(31, 35, 36, 36, 38, 32))

# Export data frame to CSV file
fwrite(df, file='sample.csv')

In the above code we write data frame to sample.csv file using fwrite() function.
