dcpp is an R package that I've created to help me learn cpp. dcpp stands for Dren C++.

I am learning C++ and have found the motivation to do so through using R. R has built in capabilities to call C++ code from R. In order to grow as a programmer and data scientist, I believe it is important to learn a real programming language. I love R and want to be an even more powerful user.

You will find C++ code in src as well as inst. Code in inst can be run by finding a given folder and running ./a.out in your terminal. Code in src will show up in R when building the R package.

Similar R code is located in the R folder. Each R function correlates with a given C++ function. When the package is loaded, fibR associates with dcpp_fib. sumR is associated with dcpp_sum, etc.

A folder called benchmarks.R is in the home directory and it has the different functions set up for speed tests. You can compare the performance of the functions there.
