'R software, making boxplot, need finite 'ylim' value

> B<-subset(olympic,sport=="basketball")
> BM<-subset(B,sex=="M"
+ )
> boxplot(BM$height)

Error in plot.window(xlim = xlim, ylim = ylim, log = log, yaxs = pars$yaxs):
need finite 'ylim' values
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In min(x) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf
2: In max(x) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf

This is what happened when I try to plot the graph. I'm new to R.

Solution 1:^[1]

Just add ylim=c(0,300)) to your code

Solution 2:^[2]

I see nothing wrong in the command though it can be shortened to:

> BM <- subset(olympic,sport=="basketball" & sex == 'M')

> boxplot(BM$height)

The error that you are getting might be because of the fact that data.frame BM has zero rows.

I would recommend you to please check the case of values for sport (i.e. whether in the dataset, 'Basketball' is present and you are searching for 'basketball')
