① Basic building blocks
•
store results in a variable 5+7 →
y

data that contains data ) numbers
•
vector : a structure ( object containing a small collection of

,② workspace and files
R provides a common API ( set of commands ) for interacting with files
•
determine current
working directory :
getwd C)
list all objects local ISC )
in workspace
•
:
•
workspace : what is loaded or created in R 's
memory that can be accessed in this session
variable then Isis throw

•
list all the files in your working directory using list .fi/esc ) or dirt )
•
use
argsl ) to see what arguments a function can take
"
directory in the working directory dir
"
•
create a current :
.
create c)
• set
your working directory to another directory :
setwdlf.name "
•
create a file in
your working directory : file create 1)
.
check if file file exists C)
•
a exists in the working directory : .
•
access information about the file : file info 1) .
items $ file .info / ) $

•
provide the relative path to the file : file path .
c)
clear your workspace :

③ Sequences of numbers
•
operator > : creates a sequence of
integers
e.
g.
1 : 4 throws I 23 4
e.
g. pi : 10 creates a
sequence of real numbers :
3,14 . . .
4,14 . . .

④ Vectors
atomic vectors : one data type ,
e.
g. numeric
, logical ,
character , integer and complex
lists :
multiple data types
Logical vectors
• values : TRUE , FALSE NA
,
e.
g. num -
Vec < 1 tells us if values are smaller than 1 or not

⑤ Missing values
placeholder for unavailable
> NA : not available ( an
quantity )
•
create a vector
containing 1000 draws from a standard normal distribution : rnorm ( 10007
•
choose a random sample of 100 elements
combining 2 vectors : sample ( cc y 27,100) ,
•
check if elements are NA : is .naC ]
•
TRUE I
•
FALSE 0
i. SUM of TRUE and FALSE gives us the number of TRUES !
> NaN : not a number e.g .
010
,
> Inf :
infinity
