6.2.1 numeric
        A numeric data type is the most common type in R, and contains any number with or without a decimal, like: 10.5,
        55, 787:
        Example

        Enter the following code snippet in the script panel:

             x <- 10.5
             # <- is known as the assignment operator
             y <- 55
             # Print values of x and y
             x
             y
             # Print the class name of x and y
             class(x)
             class(y)
        class()—This is used to return the values of the class attribute of an R object.

        6.2.2 integer
        Integers are numeric data without decimals. This is used when you are certain that you will never create a variable that
        should contain decimals. To create an integer variable, you must use the letter L after the integer value:

        Example
        Enter the following code snippet in the script panel:

             x <- 2021L
             y <- 19435L
             # Print values of x and y
             x
             y
             # Print the class name of x and y
