What is the Environment in Rstudio?

The environment pane lives on the upper right-hand side of Rstudio by default. The environment allows us to see what objects are saved in R as well as quickly preview their contents.

Running the chunk of code below will add a series of objects to the environment that you can then explore.

num_val <- 2 #A single numeric value
char_val <- "frog" # A single character value
num_vect <- c(1,2,3,4,5) # a vector of numbers
df <- data.frame(col_1 = c(1,2,3,4,5), #A dataframe of 3 columns and 5 rows
                 col_2 = c('a','b','c','d','e'),
                 col_3 = c(22.4,23.7,34.2,12.3,45.3)) 
list <- list(num_val,char_val,num_vect,df) #a list that contains all the previous objects
