Exercise

Combining i and j

As you saw in an earlier exercise when you combine i and j, data.table first filters the rows in i and then applies the computation in j. This applies when calculating multiple stats as well.

Additionally, you can also specify plot(), hist() or any other plotting functions in the j argument.

    Now for the same subset of data, plot a histogram of duration.
