This book offers solutions to all 284 exercises in Advanced R, Second Edition. All the solutions have been carefully documented and made to be as clear and accessible as possible. Working through the exercises and their solutions will give you a deeper understanding of a variety of programming challenges, many of which are relevant to everyday work. This will expand your set of tools on a technical and conceptual level. You will be able to transfer many of the specific programming schemes directly and will discover far more elegant solutions to everyday problems. Features: When R creates copies, and how it affects memory usage and code performance Everything you could ever want to know about functions The differences between calling and exiting handlers How to employ functional programming to solve modular tasks The motivation, mechanics, usage, and limitations of R's highly pragmatic S3 OO system The R6 OO system, which is more like OO programming in other languages The rules that R uses to parse and evaluate expressions How to use metaprogramming to generate HTML or LaTeX with elegant R code How to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks

This book contains a comprehensive treatment of advanced LaTeX features. The focus is on the development of high quality documents and presentations, by revealing powerful insights into the LaTeX language. The well-established advantages of the typesetting system LaTeX are the preparation and publication of platform-independent high-quality documents and automatic numbering and cross-referencing of illustrations or references. These can be extended beyond the typical applications, by creating highly dynamic electronic documents. This is commonly performed in connection with the portable document format (PDF), as well as other programming tools which allow the development of extremely flexible electronic documents.
