Exercise

Add data to the R package

Now that you've created your unitConverter package, it's time to add some data. R packages aren't just for functions; they can also encapsulate related datasets.

Your manager has requested that you add a specific dataset to your package to convert the units. In this exercise, you will load this data from a CSV file named "distance_data.csv" into your unitConverter package.

The "distance_data.csv" file has been stored for you in the data-raw directory, and the readr package has been loaded for you.
