R Studio's essential functions

What can you expect here?

Although I’ve been working with R Studio’s for a very short period of time, I recognize that my actual scripts are better than the one’s I used to write last year and that they’re better than the one’s I wrote in the beginning of 2022 and better than the ones I wrote last month. In addition to that, I already know that the scripts I’ll write next month will be better than the current ones and so on because I’m ALWAYS learning.

There is a principle in programming that says “Don’t repeat yourself - DRY”. In other words, you should focus on keeping your code as tidy as possible.

I cannot say that everyone is following (or has followed) the very same path as I am, but I’m trying to follow this principle as hard as I can. I’ve already noticed that my former codes were extremely (and unnecessarily) long, though I also recognize that they’re still not as optimal as I’d want them to be, I know that I’m only able to improve them by learning new functions.

Actually, this is how I came up with the idea of this whole blog. I needed a place to say “OMG, look at this function I’ve found!" instead of writing tones of messages to my only friend who also works with R Studio (hi, Thales!)

Enough for now! I’ve made this series so that I could share some functions which, to my own belief, are essential in R Studio. I’m also going to write another series called Cool functions in R Studio at the same time. I hope that we’ll able to learn together and share some knowledge! Any suggestions are always welcome, of course! 😁
