R provides a variety of functions for importing data files. The most common functions which we will use are read.csv(), read.delim(), and read.table(). These functions are loaded in R by default as a part of the utils package when you start R.
read.csv() is used to import csv (comma separated values) files. R imports the data into a data frame.
