Abstract
In this chapter, we leave data analysis and return to programming and software development, topics that are the focus of the remaining chapters of the book. Chapter 1 gave a tutorial introduction to R programming but left out a lot of details. This chapter covers many of those details while the next two chapters will cover more advanced aspects of R programming: functional programming and object oriented programming.

- 1.
I am actually lying here because the arguments to a function are not assigned values but expressions that haven’t been evaluated yet. See the Lazy Evaluation section later.
