Preface 3

The book follows more of a data-types approach than a workflow approach.

  1. Basic types:
    • Atomic: logical (TRUE/FALSE), numeric, character.
    • Function.
    • List.
  2. Compound types:
    • Factor.
    • Matrix.
    • data.frame.
    • formula.
  3. Advanced material:
  • Symbol, call, expressions: metaprograming.
  • Environment: scoping / store/access objects
  • Interface compiled code
