This tutorial covers core R programming concepts including conditional logic, for and while loops, custom functions, the apply family of functions, functional programming with purrr, and error handling with tryCatch. It is aimed at researchers in linguistics and the humanities who want to move beyond basic R usage and write reusable, automated analysis pipelines.
