Challenge 1

Code

library(tidyverse)

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE, warning=FALSE, message=FALSE)

Challenge Overview

Today’s challenge is to

1. read in a dataset, and

2. describe the dataset using both words and any supporting information (e.g., tables, etc)

Read in the Data

Read in one (or more) of the following data sets, using the correct R package and command.

• railroad_2012_clean_county.csv ⭐
• birds.csv ⭐⭐
• FAOstat*.csv ⭐⭐
• wild_bird_data.xlsx ⭐⭐⭐
• StateCounty2012.xls ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Find the _data folder, located inside the posts folder. Then you can read in the data, using either one of the readr standard tidy read commands, or a specialized package such as readxl.

Code

df<-read_csv("_data/cereal.csv")
df

20 Honeycomb                210    11 C    

Add any comments or documentation as needed. More challenging data sets may require additional code chunks and documentation.

Describe the data

Using a combination of words and results of R commands, can you provide a high level description of the data? Describe as efficiently as possible where/how the data was (likely) gathered, indicate the cases and variables (both the interpretation and any details you deem useful to the reader to fully understand your chosen data).

In total, we have 80 entries in this data set which talks about different cereals with 20 rows and 4 columns. The column categories are cereal with string variable, sodium and sugar with integer variable and type with character variable.It talks about the sodium level and sugar content present in each type of cereal and categories it into either A or C type The data set has been checked for null and missing values and there are no such values present and the data set is clean.
