Assign values to objects using the assignment operator <-
The best practice is to use the left facing <- arrow instead of -> for ease of reading a long list of code
Tips for using <- assignments:
- Avoid long object names
- Assign a descriptive name for ease of later reference
- Don't use function names that already exist in R
- Avoid using blank spaces (use underscore _ or period . instead)
For example, if you type in the Script Editor x <- 5 then, typing x + x will output 10.
