State the number of questions that will be asked. Include expectations about time commitment. + +### Code Chunk Warm-up + +To get familiar with how code chunks work in `learnr`, let's write R code required to add two numbers: 1234 and 5678 (and the answer is 6912). + +The code chunk below is editable and is "pre-populated" with an unfinished function definition. The goal is to add arguments and fill in the body of the function. When finished, you can run the code chunk and it should produce the answer. + +If you click "Run Code", you should see the answer below the chunk. That answer will persist as you navigate around this doc. + +You can clear your answers by clicking "Start Over" in the top-left of the chunk. You can also clear **all** your answers by clicking "Start Over" in the left-hand sidebar, but doing that basically erases all progress in the document *Use with caution!* + +```{r warmup_1, exercise=TRUE, exercise.lines=10} +add <- function() { + +} +x = 1234 +y = 5678 +add(x,y) +``` + +```{r warmup_1-solution} +add <- function(value1, value2) { + return(value1 + value2) +} + +x = 1234 +y = 5678 + +add(x,y) +``` + +### Multiple Choice Question Warmup +The question below shows how the multiple choice answering and "feedback" works. +```{r warmup_2} +quiz( + question("Select the answer choice that will return `TRUE` in R.", + answer("1 == 1", message="Good work! Feedback appears here.", correct=TRUE), + answer("1 == 0", message="Not quite! Feedback appears here.") + ) +) +``` + +### Debugging a Function +Below, you'll see code to define a function that is *supposed* to perform a transformation on a vector. The problem is that it doesn't work right now. + +In theory, the function will take a numeric vector as input (let's call it $x$) and scale the values so they lie between zero and one. [^1] The way it *should* do this is by first subtracting the minimum value of $x$ from each element of $x$. Then, the function will divide each element by the difference between the maximum value of $x$ and the minimum value of $x$. + +[^1]: This is sometimes called min-max [feature scaling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_scaling), and is sometimes used for machine learning. + +As written now, however, the function does not work! There are at least three issues you will need to fix to get it working. Once you fix them, you should be able to confirm that your function works with the pre-populated example (with the correct output provided). You might also be able to make this code more "elegant" (or alternatively, improve the comments and variable names as you see fit). + +Bonus: how might we update this function to scale between any "floor" and "ceiling" value? + +```{r R_debug1, exercise=TRUE} +zeroToOneRescaler <- function() { + # the minimum value + minval <- min(x) + # let's "shift" our vector by subtracting the minimum value of x from each element + shifted <- x - minval + + # let's find the difference between max val and min val + difference <- min(x) - max(x) + + scaled <- shifted / difference + scaled +} + +test_vector = c(1,2,3,4,5) +zeroToOneRescaler(test_vector) +# Should print c(0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.00) +``` + +```{r R_debug1-solution} +zeroToOneRescaler <- function(x) { + shifted <- x - min(x) + difference = max(x) - min(x) + return(shifted / difference) +} + +test_vector = c(1,2,3,4,5) +zeroToOneRescaler(test_vector) +# Should print c(0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.00) +``` + +```{r R_debug1-response} +quiz( + question("Were you able to solve the debugging question?
