Exercise

Reading chunks in as a matrix

In this exercise, you'll write a scalable table() function counting the number of urban and rural borrowers in the mortgage dataset using chunk.apply(). By default, chunk.apply() aggregates the processed data using the rbind() function. This means that you can create a table from each of the chunks and then add up the rows of the resulting matrix to get the total counts for the table.

We have created a file connection fc to the "mortgage-sample.csv" file and read in the first line to get rid of the header.
