About
This text seeks to give you an introduction to programming in R.
In a nutshell, I discuss the basics of R, covering properties of data objects, such as vectors, factors, matrices, lists, and data frames. Likewise, I describe fundamental notions of programming (e.g. functions, conditionals, iterations).
About You
I am assuming that you have both R or RStudio installed in your computer. If this is not the case, you can take a look at Breaking the Ice with R
