Hi Suhaila,
You don't need to make a function: your script should just contain:
med <- read.csv("medicalData.csv")
If you do want to make a function, then you need to assign the
resulting value to something, eg:
med <- readData()
but there's no reason to do that. Values that are assigned within a
function don't persist in the global environment.
