R Programming Tidyverse: readr package to import data (csv, tab-separated, fixed-width) (tidy-02)
Here I illustrate, or introduce if you aren't familiar with it, the package that's called readr, which is part of the tidy verse, and this is the package that we would use to import external files into our R environment as usable R objects. In the tidy verse those would be called Tibbles, but a Tibble is just an enhanced user-friendly version of the data frame. The data frame is the most important rectangular object in R. In a previous video, as part of the introduction R, we've already looked at this function here called read.table and I would just ask you to focus on the fact that it has a dot in it. That's the tell-tale sign that it is part of the base package. read.table is part of the utils package, which is loaded automatically when we start R.
