slight deviation but do you have any tips or tricks for learning R? bc i just found out that i'm probs gonna have to learn it for honours next year
tbh the main thing that helps me learn any programming language is just repetitive practice. the school i’m visiting for the summer has free access to this site called datacamp, which has a ton of exercises and interactive tutorials that have helped me a lot. that site normally costs money, but i’d bet there are other similar sites out there that are free.
it also really helps me when i’m learning any new language to make a kind of “cheat sheet” that has all the basics, like how to declare a variable, how to create a list, how to make a method, etc. for me i always struggle to remember little details like that, so it’s useful to have a central location for all that info.
aaand i also use google a lot. whenever i don’t know how to do anything (which is embarrassingly often for me as a computer science major lmao) i google the issue i’m having and probably 95% of the time the geniuses on sites like stackoverflow (a programming forum) have it figured out haha
