Creating Section

With R Markdown, you can include code chunks like this:

getwd()

## [1] "/Users/rithika/Google Drive/Penn/TA/Intro to DS/Rk_Recitation/Other Files"

setwd("/Users/rithika/Google\ Drive/Penn/TA/Intro\ to\ DS/Rk_Recitation/Data") 
#insert the path of the directory of your choice
country.profile <- read.csv("country_profile_variables.csv")

Creating a sub-section

On markdown, you will also see that when you write a function within the code chunk, it will throw out the output automatically after it. Like this

# this will only display the summary for the first 3 columns in the dataset
summary(country.profile[,1:3])

##            country               Region    Surface.area..km2.
##  Afghanistan   :  1   Caribbean     : 25   -99    :  3       
##  Albania       :  1   EasternAfrica : 19   180    :  2       
##  Algeria       :  1   WesternAsia   : 18   457    :  2       
##  American Samoa:  1   SouthernEurope: 16   ~0     :  1       
##  Andorra       :  1   WesternAfrica : 16   1002000:  1       
##  Angola        :  1   SouthAmerica  : 14   100284 :  1       
##  (Other)       :223   (Other)       :121   (Other):219

You can also choose to not display an R code chunk. echo = FALSE parameter can be added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code.
