### 🏆 HackBio Internship 2025 – Stage 0: Team BioCoders

#### 🔹 **Task Overview**
This task focused on fundamental coding syntax, data types, and data structures. The goal was to organize and display information about team members in a structured format without using functions, loops, or conditionals.

#### 📌 **Task Requirements:**
- Form a team of at least **five members**, each familiar with different programming languages.
- Choose **either R or Python** to complete the task (we used **R**).
- Organize and display the following details:
  - Name
  - Slack Username
  - Email
  - Hobby
  - Country
  - Discipline
  - Preferred Programming Language
- Ensure that the final output is printed in a **clear and logical** manner.
- Record a short **video tutorial** explaining our approach and post it on **LinkedIn**.

---

## 🖥️ **Our Approach**

### 🚀 **Step 1: Selecting a Programming Language**
After discussion, our team chose **R** for this task due to its robust data handling capabilities.

### 📝 **Step 2: Creating a Data Structure**
We used an **R data frame**, which allows us to store structured data in tabular form.

### 🛠 **Step 3: Implementing the Code**
Here’s the **R script** used to store and display our team’s information:

```r

# Creating a data frame to store team information
BioCoders_data <- data.frame(
  Names = c("Nina Julian", "Fowowe Toyin", "Musa Al Hassan Kromah"),
  Slack_username = c("Julian", "Toyin", "Musa"),
  Email = c("anyangonina39@gmail.com", "toyintoyo05@gmail.com", "kromahmusa86@gmail.com"),
  Hobby = c("Listening to music", "Reading", "Hiking"),
  Country = c("Kenya", "Nigeria", "Liberia"),
  Discipline = c("Biotechnology", "Biochemistry", "Biotechnology"),
  Programming_language = c("R", "Python", "Python")
)

# Printing the organized data
print(BioCoders_data)
```

---

## 📊 **Code Explanation**
### 🔹 **1. Creating a Data Frame**
- We used `data.frame()` in **R** to store our team’s details.
- Each column represents a specific attribute: **Name, Slack Username, Email, Hobby, Country, Discipline, and Programming Language**.

### 🔹 **2. Populating the Data Frame**
- We assigned relevant values to each column using **vectors**.
- For example, `Names` contains a vector with each team member’s name.

### 🔹 **3. Displaying the Output**
- The final `print()` statement ensures the information is neatly presented as a table.

---

## ✅ **Final Output**

When executed, the script outputs the following structured table:

| Names                | Slack Username | Email                          | Hobby               | Country | Discipline    | Programming Language |
|----------------------|---------------|--------------------------------|---------------------|---------|--------------|---------------------|
| Nina Julian         | Julian        | anyangonina39@gmail.com        | Listening to music | Kenya   | Biotechnology | R                   |
| Fowowe Toyin        | Toyin         | toyintoyo05@gmail.com         | Reading            | Nigeria | Biochemistry | Python              |
| Musa Al Hassan Kromah | Musa         | kromahmusa86@gmail.com        | Hiking             | Liberia | Biotechnology | Python              |
