The summary function is introduced in 02-starting-with-data.Rmd. Where specifically are you suggesting that the summary function is added?

Hi Stacey,  You're right its already there and I somehow overlooked it. Well, we can certainly add class() function to 02-starting-with-data.Rmd and show the learner what is the class type of the data object is and how can we look at the class/type of each column which is helpful to do any operations on columns later on. Would this suggestion be acceptable? I haven't raised an issue on it yet, I will wait for your answer.
