Use of functions Lab-01 #7

Open cjbecerr opened 5 years ago

cjbecerr commented 5 years ago

I completed lab-01 without using all of the functions listed (ncol, dim, names, and summary weren't used). I used the convenience of RStudio dataview to replace the use of summary and others to learn about the dataset. Is that okay, or did we need to include use of all functions for our labs?

I'm glad you discovered dataview. R Studio has some nice features to make it a more comfortable transition for Excel and Stata users.

For this first lab I mainly wanted you to get comfortable with R Markdown documents and make sure everything is knitting fine.

Moving forward you will need to rely on functions (functions are the arrows in your quiver, so the more you are familiar with the better). But for Lab-01 if you were able to produce an HTML file with correct results, I'll take it!
