  This looks an awful lot like homework [especially the "next 3 questions"
phrase ...].  Please note that the R list
is **not** intended for homework questions (primarily because
it's not fair to your teacher, who is probably expecting you to do your
work on your own, but also because we don't have time to do everyone's
homework for them).
