With all systems ready to launch, let's start our first commands. R will take both the strings in quotes or simple numbers. Here, we will put one command as a string and one command as a number. The output is the same as the input:
> "Let's Go Sioux!"
[1] "Let's Go Sioux!"
> 15
[1] 15
R can also act as a calculator:
> ((22+5)/9)*2
[1] 6
Where R starts to shine is in the creation of vectors. Here, we will put the first 10 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence in a vector using the c() function, which stands for combining the values to a vector or list (concatenate):
> c(0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34) #Fibonacci sequence
[1] 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34
Note that in this syntax, I included a comment, Fibonacci sequence. In R, anything after the # key on the command line is not executed.
Now, let's create an object that contains...
