- Hello, and welcome to Code Clinic for R. My name is Mark Niemann-Ross and I'm excited to show you my solutions for the challenges proposed to the Code Clinic authors. In this series, we'll explore creative and efficient ways to use R to solve a range of problems. I'll describe some of the unique features of this language and show you some tips on how to make your code run faster and be more reliable, as well as pointers on making it more readable.
If you search the Lynda.com library for Code Clinic, you'll find additional courses by different authors using other languages including, Java, C++, Python, PHP, Ruby, JavaScript, Swift, and C#. Each Code Clinic author solves the exact same set of problems. So you can compare different solutions as well as the pros and cons of each language. If you're looking for tips on better coding or trying to decide on your next new programming language, you're going to love Code Clinic.
So, let's get started with Code Clinic for R.
