Exercise 2: Directories and Workspace in R

---

1) Build a set of at least 3 pathnames pointing to internal or external drives

path.baseR <- "C:/Users/omedina/Desktop/R course"

path.baseRdata <- "C:/Users/omedina/Desktop/R course/data"

path.birdcensus <- "C:/Users/omedina/Desktop/Bird surveys docs and protocols"

2) Activate paths and determine where you are as each is activated

setwd(path.baseR)
getwd()

## [1] "C:/Users/omedina/Desktop/R course"

setwd(path.birdcensus)
getwd()

## [1] "C:/Users/omedina/Desktop/Bird surveys docs and protocols"

setwd("~/")
getwd()

## [1] "C:/Users/omedina/Documents"

3) Save the paths as a RData file, where is whatever file name you wish to use

save(path.baseRdata, file = "Rcoursedata.RData")

save(path.birdcensus, file = "Birdcensusdata.RData")

4) Exit R, re-open R, and load previously saved pathnames

setwd("C:/Users/omedina/Desktop/R course/baseR-v2020.1/Markdown") # set directory
load("Rcoursedata.RData") # load previous workspace pathnames

5) Submit all homework as a RMarkdown using HTML format
