Chapter 5 Creating and writing data

This is a useful feature and allows you to save data that you have created. The following code creates a small dataset and then allows you to save the data to your working directory.

Nurse_ID <- c(21,1,66,7) # this variable contains the ID for four nurses
Hours_Mon <- c(2,3,4,5)# this variable contains the hours worked by the nurses on Mon
Hours_Tues<- c(4,4,4,4)# this variable contains the hours worked by the nurses on Tues
Hours_Total <- Hours_Mon + Hours_Tues

Nurses <- cbind(Nurse_ID, Hours_Mon, Hours_Tues,Hours_Total)
Nurses <- data.frame(Nurses)

write.csv(Nurses,"Nurses.csv")

Nurses
