Creating a vector in base R with the c, :, seq, and rep functions (CC170)

Everything in R is a vector. In this Code Club, Pat shows how to use base R functions including c, :, seq, and rep to build a vector. As a bonus, he'll show you how to access built in vectors letter, LETTERS, month.abb, and month.name. This is part of a series of videos demonstrating how to functions from base R to make these data compatible with tools from the tidyverse You can find my blog post for this episode at https://www.riffomonas.org/code_club/2021-12-09-vectors. The data were generated in our Kozich et al. 2013 paper (http://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.01043-13) using samples from the Schloss et al. 2012 paper (http://doi.org/10.4161/gmic.21008). Want more practice on the concepts covered in Code Club? You can sign up for my weekly newsletter at https://shop.riffomonas.org/youtube to get practice problems, tips, and insights. If you're interested in taking an upcoming 3 day R workshop be sure to check out our schedule at https://riffomonas.org/workshops/ You can also find complete tutorials for learning R with the tidyverse using...
