Google is your best friend for learning R. If you find other examples online of people who had the same problem, try to execute the code for their example + solution into your R environment. Look at their input and output, how is it similar/different to yours? How can you adapt their solution to your specific dataset?

ChatGPT is also an excellent resource for most coding questions
