Join Mark Niemann-Ross for an in-depth discussion in this video A matrix of possibilities, part of Code Clinic: R (2015).
- So let's step through my solution…for the eight Queens problem.…Lines one, two, and three are…just simply set up for this situation.…Line two sets a working directory,…and you may want to change that…to reflect your own personal computer.…Line three makes sure that we are sourcing plots…to Queens.R, and in order to do that,…I just simply select that line and hit Run.…And it will go ahead and bring in the code…that belongs to that particular function.…Lines six, seven, and eight…uses a command called expand.grid…to create all of the possible options…for the eight Queens solution.…
Let's take a look at expand.grid real quick.…First of all, the thing that you'll always want to do…anytime you bump into a new command…is pull up the documentation,…so I type in, in the Console,…?e-x-p-a-n-d.g-r-i-d.…And to my right…I see that I have documentation for…expand.grid.…And we can open that up a bit and scroll around.…I'll leave it to you to take a look at that in detail.…But essentially what expand.grid does…is bring up all the possible options…

Q: R Studio tells me that it can't find files I expect to be available. Where can I find them?
