3. Basic syntax of a function
A function needs to have:
A name
A body of code

4. Remember
The important idea behind functions is that objects that are created within the function are local to the environment of the function - they don't exist outside of the function.
But…
you can “return” the value of the object from the function, meaning pass the value of it into the global environment.

5. General structure of a function
name.of.function <- function(argument1, argument2) {
statements
return(something) }
