Variables

Let's go over how to assign variables in R.

You can use the <- character to assign a variable, note how it kind of looks like an arrow pointing from the object to the variable name.

In [1]:
# Use hashtags for comments
variable.name <- 100
In [2]:
# Let's see the variable!
variable.name
Out[2]:
100

Working with variables

We can use variables together and work with them, for example:

In [3]:
bank.account <- 100
In [5]:
deposit <- 10
In [6]:
bank.account <- bank.account + deposit
In [7]:
bank.account
Out[7]:
110

That's all for now, let's go learn about the basic data types!
