    Begin by setting up the development environment for R programming basics, choosing 64-bit options, and restarting the IDE to start learning.

  • Hello World Software0:58

    Learn how to create a simple hello world program and build a basic hollow application as an introduction to programming.

  • Variables and Data Types5:49

    Explore variables and data types in R programming, showing how to store values, use integer, text, and boolean types, print results, and observe memory and number behavior.

  • Data Types Conversion4:37

    Master data types conversion in R programming basics by converting numbers to strings and other types, and by handling conversion errors with practical examples.

  • Vector3:02

    Learn how to work with vectors in R: select the first element, index elements, and apply comparisons like less than two to filter results, then run code to view outcomes.

  • List3:39

    Learn to create and manipulate lists in R, store values of the same type, and access the first and fourth elements, practicing retrieving and modifying list entries.

  • Matrix4:46

    This lecture teaches how to create and manipulate matrices in R, including defining a matrix, controlling rows and columns, printing, and retrieving values by position.

  • Data Frame7:11

    learn how to create data frames in R, define ID, names, and salary columns, and inspect or modify their structure and values through practical examples.

  • Data Frame II2:10

    Learn how to frame your R program with data frames and strings, organize values, and arrange the top three components to build a practical calculator.

  • Arithmetic Operators1:46

    Explore arithmetic operators in the R programming basics course by performing subtraction, multiplication, and exponentiation to evaluate expressions and see results.

  • Relational Operators2:38

    Explore relational operators in R to compare values, using equals, not equal, less than, greater than, and their combinations to yield true or false results.

  • Logical Operators2:26

    Explore logical operators in R, understand and, or, and how truth values combine to produce true or false outcomes.

  • Decision Making5:27

    Learn to use if statements in R to make decisions from numeric comparisons, such as checking ranges like more than 23 and less than 70 or between 23 and 78.

  • Loops2:16

    Explore loops in R programming basics by using print statements to generate numbers from 1 to 1000 and apply loop structures to repeat tasks efficiently.

  • Loops II2:22

    This lecture demonstrates using a while loop in R, starting a counter at zero and incrementing it until 1000, printing values along the way and noting risk of infinite loops.

  • Functions3:55

    Learn how to define and call functions in R, pass parameters, and return values, using a main function and printing results to show outputs.

  • Put Everything Together - Create Your Own Calculator5:26

    Learn to build your own calculator by defining functions for add, subtract, multiply, and divide in R, then combine them to perform operations and return results.

  • Put Everything Together - Create Your Own Calculator 22:39

    Put everything together to create your own calculator in R by implementing addition and multiplication, running multiple cases, and reading results.

  • Put Everything Together - Create Your Own Calculator 31:52

    Put everything together to create your own calculator in R, covering basic arithmetic operations, running code, and handling integers and real numbers.

  • Import CSV2:33

    Learn how to import a csv file in r, read the data into variables, and inspect columns and separators to explore the dataset.

  • Descriptive Statistics using summary()1:07

    Learn to compute descriptive statistics in R using the summary() function, inspect data structures and basic numeric properties to summarize datasets quickly.

  • PLot Graphs0:37

    Master plotting graphs in R programming basics while practicing running commands and using control features safely.

Requirements

  • Computer Knowledge
