[R] advice/opinion on "<-" vs "=" in teaching R

[Erin Hodgess]

Hi R People:

I'm teaching a statistical computing class using R starting next week
(yay!) and I have an opinion type question, please.

I'm old school and use "<-" in an assignment.

However, I'm starting to see the "=" in the literature.

Which should I use or does it matter, please?

Thanks for your input!
Sincerely,
Erin
