R Basics

Warning

To get credit for the R Bootcamp, you must complete the three quizzes throughout this section (R Basics) and the next (Data Frames).

This chapter provides an introduction to the very basics of R (and coding in general). By the end, you will be familiar with all of the following concepts:

  • R as a Calculator

  • Assignment

  • Data Types

  • Atomic Vectors

  • Functions

If you already have experience with coding and/or the R language, you may skip this chapter. However, you must still successfully complete the quizzes throughout to get credit.
