R & RStudio: the basics

In this mordev we will learn about the basics of R and RStudio. We will talk about the operators, basic objects and more complicated data structures available in R as well as how to create a function. We will do all of this while navigating the different document types of the RStudio IDE. We will talk about good practices when working with R in a project and conclude by mentionning some useful shortcuts and packages.
Requirement: an up to date version of R and RStudio (you can download both at: https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/). You will also need to download packages necessary to open RMarkdown (from RStudio go to New File and select R Markdown and you should have a dialog box open asking you to install the necessary packages).
