 ===== Vectors ===== ===== Vectors =====
   * To create a vector, use the combine command ''c(4,7,9)''   * To create a vector, use the combine command ''c(4,7,9)''

   * ''myseq + 1'' adds one to all elements of the myseq vector.   * ''myseq + 1'' adds one to all elements of the myseq vector.
   * Scalar operations or functions on vectors typically produce other vectors e.g. + - == sin(myseq)   * Scalar operations or functions on vectors typically produce other vectors e.g. + - == sin(myseq)
-  * ''head(myvec)'' , ''tail(myvec)'' to show start or end of vector 
  
 +===== Data Sets =====
 +  * ''factor'' is a collection type for categorized values - ''myfac=factor(myvec)''
 +  * ''factor''s group unique string values as ''level''s e.g. levels(myfac) shows unique levels. 
 +  * ''as.integer(myfac)'' shows levels as integers, can be used to set plot type
 +  * ''legend("to­pright", level­s(types), pch=1­:length(le­vels(types­)))''
 +  * A data frame collects sets of related values (i.e. sets of columns with values in the same order) e.g. ''mydf=data.frame(weights,prices,types)''
 +  * To extract a column, use double-square brackets with the column index or name e.g. ''mydf%%[['weights']]%%'' or just a dollar sign e.g. ''treasure$prices''
