## Summary
- R functions as a calculator
-- Use `<-` to save (assign) values to objects
-- Reassigning allows you to make changes "in place"
-- Use `c()` to **combine** vectors
+- 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.
