Lecture (Thursday): Refresher & RegEx

This week, we will deal with the following questions:

• What are regular expressions (RegEx) and how can I use them in R?
• How do string manipulations in R work?
• What is the tidyverse style of programming and why should I care about it?
• Why are functional programming and loops important in R?
