Exercise

Here’s a simple exercise with an empty code chunk provided for entering the answer.

Write the R code required to add two plus two:

Exercise with Code

Here’s an exercise with some prepopulated code as well as exercise.lines = 5 to provide a bit more initial room to work.

Now write a function that adds any two numbers and then call it:

Exercise with Hint

Here’s an exercise where the chunk is pre-evaluated via the exercise.eval option (so the user can see the default output we’d like them to customize). We also add a “hint” to the correct solution via the chunk immediate below labeled print-limit-hint.

Modify the following code to limit the number of rows printed to 5:

##                 mpg cyl disp  hp drat    wt  qsec vs am gear carb
## Mazda RX4      21.0   6  160 110 3.90 2.620 16.46  0  1    4    4
