[R] Running CSV File

[Eric Berger]

You seem to have some typos

g <- read.csv.("cancer_data,"header=true,sep=",")

1. you have a '.' between 'csv' and '('.
2. you have flipped ',' and '"" in '_data",header'
3. you write 'true', but R expects 'TRUE'

Try copying your code and errors into an LLM which should be able to
provide fixes.
