Generating correlation matrices

Finally, let's write another function that generates a correlation matrix from a data.table. To do this, you'll need to grab all the numeric columns (based on column name) and change the data.table into a matrix.

A function get_numeric_cols() has been defined for you. It returns a character vector with names of the numeric column names.
