#This is what ChatGPT outputted for me when I gave it this prompt: "You are a data scientist exploring a large data set using exploratory data analysis principles. Your task is to create code in R using data.table functions to look at the variable types in the data set, create a new variable using variables from the data set, and exclude certain values from the data set. Also, include performance comparisons with equivalent dplyr operations."
