title: Why does 'getwd' not tell me the working directory?
body: <p>I am somewhat new to coding and have not come across this issue before. I am using R in an ubuntu shell when I attempt to find or set my working directory the functions returns this: </p>
  
  <pre><code> &gt; getwd
  function ()
  .Internal(getwd())
  bytecode: 0x3db9f40
  environment: namespace:base
  
  &gt; setwd
  function (dir)
  .Internal(setwd(dir))
  bytecode: 0x50020f8
  environment: namespace:base
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What can I do to resolve this? </p>
