Data Programming with C

The module covers the essence of programming with data using the languages C and C++, with a particular focus on incorporating such code into the R statistical environment. Learners will learn the structure of both languages and how commands can be called from R via the Rcpp and inline packages. This enables a very large speed gain over traditional R commands, and is especially useful for large data sets.
