🏅 Rio 2016 Olympics Medal Analysis

Overview

This is my first R project where I practiced the fundamentals of R programming using the Rio 2016 Olympics medal dataset.
The project focuses on basic data handling, computation, and visualization techniques in R.

Objectives

• Understand variables, data types, and operators in R
• Learn data structures: vectors, matrices, lists, and data frames
• Import CSV data into R and filter/sort it
• Perform simple calculations and create a basic bar plot visualization

Insights

• USA dominated the 2016 Olympics with 121 total medals
• UK, China, and Russia followed closely in the top ranks
• Visualization clearly shows the medal gap between the top countries

What I Learned

• How to load and inspect datasets in R
• How to manipulate data frames using indexing and sorting
• How to visualize data using the barplot() function
• How to use comments and Markdown to document a project properly
