Notes
- 1.
In R values can be assigned to an object using either <- or =. Throughout this book I use <- because it is the most common convention among users of R, and it avoids the whole = vs. == confusion.
- 2.
Remember that you can get the start up code for this chapter from Appendix C or the code repository.

Thanks to Carmen McCue for this exercise suggestion.
