# The $"$c$"$ in $`$c$()`$ is short for "concatenate," which is the action of connecting items into a chain

# The function $`$c$()`$ connects all of the strings within it into a single vector, which we can assign to $`$x$`$

x $<-$ c$("$a$","$a$","$b$","$b$","$b$","$c$")$

# Here is an example of what the table function does

table$($x$)$

# Write one line of code to show the number of states per region

x $<-$ c$($murders$states$)$

table$($x$)$
