Code chunks (pieces with R code, identified by {r}). Insert code chunks (green button with a C and a + sign) Keyboard shortcut: Alt + Ctrl + I (Alt + Control + i letter)

• R ignores spaces in the code, but you can put them to read better.
• Data types. 1) Numeric: real numbers (1,2, 3.5) in blue;
2) Character: text characters, always between “__” (“Yes”, “woman”), in green;
