# Naming Conventions by Example

#  Vector Definition
names <- c('Alexandre','Jannik','Radim')
weights.lb <- c(188, 195, 194)

#  Data Frame Definition
canucks.forwards <- data.frame(Name = names, WeightLb = weights.lb)

#  Function Definition
convertLbToKg <- function(people) {
    people$WeightKg <- people$WeightLb * 0.45359237
    return(people)
}

canucks.forwards <- convertLbToKg(canucks.forwards)

I haven’t been able to find a good agreed-upon naming convention for R therefore, I attempt to create one, for myself and anyone who is interested.
