In the previous post, you installed and got a glimpse of R and Rstudio program. In this chapter you begin to do something with them. We will begin with some simple calculations and then move on to variables. We then move to functions and later to packages. We will learn the basic data types that are widely used in R and how to construct them
This chapter provides example of foundational programming concepts in R.
Introduction An increase in complexity and scale of environmental data both from satellite and insitu observations. This means scientists are increasingly required to develop data skills needed to design reproducible workflows for the simulation, collection, organization, pocessing, analysis and presentation of the results. However, to gain that skills requires some knowledge of coding using one or more computer languages. Coding also known as scripting, makes your work explicitly described, and transparent and completely reproducible.
