temp <- tempfile()
download.file("http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/00222/bank.zip",temp, mode="wb")
unzip(temp, "bank-full.csv")
unlink(temp)
bank.df <- read.table("bank-full.csv", sep=";", header=T)
str(bank.df)

Answer 2

One of the parameters to read.csv() must include the location of your .csv file. Only then can you save it into as a data frame called 'data'. If you are using a MacBook:

data <- read.csv("User/Benjamin/Desktop/bank.csv", sep=";")

and if you're on Windows:

data <- read.csv("C:\\Users\\Benjamin\\Desktop\\bank.csv", sep=";")

Hope this helps!
