| Thanks, ankush97. Let's cover a couple of quick housekeeping items | before we begin our first lesson. First of all, you should know that | when you see '...', that means you should press Enter when you are | done reading and ready to continue.

... <-- That's your cue to press Enter to continue

| Also, when you see 'ANSWER:', the R prompt (>), or when you are | asked to select from a list, that means it's your turn to enter a | response, then press Enter to continue.

Select 1, 2, or 3 and press Enter

1: Continue. 2: Proceed. 3: Let's get going!

Selection: 1

| You can exit swirl and return to the R prompt (>) at any time by | pressing the Esc key. If you are already at the prompt, type bye() | to exit and save your progress. When you exit properly, you'll see a | short message letting you know you've done so.

| When you are at the R prompt (>): | -- Typing skip() allows you to skip the current question. | -- Typing play() lets you experiment with R on your own; swirl will | ignore what you do... | -- UNTIL you type nxt() which will regain swirl's attention. | -- Typing bye() causes swirl to exit. Your progress will be saved. | -- Typing main() returns you to swirl's main menu. | -- Typing info() displays these options again.

| Let's get started!
