5) Lists

📖 Lecture

In this week, we discuss lists, which are the most generic kind of data container in R.

🎯 Objectives

At the end of this week you will be able to:

• Describe in what sense a list is a one-dimensional object
• Describe in what sense a list is like a “train with wagons”
• provide an example of subsetting with single brackets (e.g. lis[index])
• provide an example of subsetting with double brackets, and a single element lis[[index]])
• provide a manipulation example with the dollar operator (e.g. lis$wagon)
