R4DS Advanced R Bookclub
A weekly reading group following the chapters of Advanced R by Hadley Wickham (2nd ed)
Visit the #book_club-advanced_r channel on Slack to join the video chat!
This repo contains 3 main folders:
-
QandA: A bookdown collection of chapter questions and answers that come up during meetings (or between!). We're also using this to try to answer questions marked "started" in the solutions manual with the potential goal of submitting PRs with our own answers!
-
Presentations: each week a presenter will give a talk summarizing the chapter and/or discussing practical applications of the topic at hand.
-
Data: Example datasets about beer production and beer reviews are stored in this folder to help facilitate practical applications!

Week 2 Guiding Questions
Week 2
- What is the difference between an object’s name and its values?
- When you modify a vector, when does a copy occur? Are there cases when a copy isn’t created?
- How do you check how much space and object occupies? What kinds of objects occupy the most/least space?
- When does R’s garbage collection usually run? How do you manually clean up memory?
