Introduction to R Programming with ChatGPT

Wednesday, November 8th

4:00-5:30pm

Furcolo W015

This hands-on workshop is designed for beginners aiming to solidify their understanding of fundamental programming constructs within the R environment. The workshop will focus on the core concepts of conditional and control statements, which form the backbone of logical flow in programming. Participants will learn to construct effective algorithms through the drafting of pseudocode, an essential skill that bridges the gap between problem-solving and coding. Attendees will engage in interactive exercises to transform real-life scenarios into structured pseudocode, fostering comprehension of how to decompose problems into executable steps. We will explore how tools like ChatGPT can assist in translating logical frameworks into syntactically correct R code. By learning to communicate effectively with AI language models, participants will discover how to expedite the coding process, reduce syntax errors, and enhance coding efficiency.
