+-   Use `<-` to save (assign) values to objects. Reassigning allows you to make changes "in place".
+-   Use `c()` to **combine** into vectors
 -   `length()`, `class()`, and `str()` tell you information about an object
 -   The sequence `seq()` function helps you create numeric vectors (`from`,`to`, `by`, and `length.out` arguments)
 -   The repeat `rep()` function helps you create vectors with the `each` and `times` arguments
 -   `sample()` makes random vectors
+-   `install.packages()` and `library()` install and load packages, respectively.
