Loading the gapminder and dplyr packages

Before you can work with the gapminder dataset, you'll need to load two R packages that contain the tools for working with it, then display the gapminder dataset so that you can see what it contains.

When you submit your code, your R script is executed and the output is shown in the console/shell. DataCamp checks whether your submission is correct and gives you feedback. You can submit your code as often as you want. If you're stuck, you can ask for a hint or a solution by clicking the lightbulb icon.

You can use the console/shell interactively by simply typing R code and hitting Enter. When you work in the console directly, your code will not be checked for correctness so it is a great way to experiment and explore.

Exercise instructions

Use the library() function to load the dplyr package, just like we've loaded the gapminder package for you.
Type gapminder, on its own line, to look at the gapminder dataset.
