10.4 Check the working directory with getwd()

You can confirm where you are at using the command getwd(); this can be handy if you’re not sure that you did things correctly or if R didn’t output what you expected.

getwd() # [ ]

## [1] "C:/Users/lisanjie/Documents/1_R/git/git-teaching/teaching_2018_2019/2018_fall/biostats_fall_2018/4_biostats_bks_pkg/EDS/EDSbook"

Here, even though when set the working directory R originally just displayed “setwd(”~/“)”, I can now confirm that I’m in my documents folder.
