color_by_dpmt: Visualizing professor ages by department

In yz4/WilliamsFaculty: Average Age of Williams College Faculty

Description

This function creates a colored scatter plot with each color representing a different department. The index represents the order of the professors in the original data, since the original data is in alphabetical order, the index gives a sense of which letter the professor's last name starts with. A legend is included indicating which color represents which department. If there is no input, the scatter plot will have points from all 22 departments, with the oldest and youngest professors pointed out. If an input is given, the scatter plot will only contain points for the professors in the specified departments. If the input contains a string that is not a department, an error message will be printed. Note: the legend may overlap with the plot in some RStudio layouts, adjust the size of the plot area to default for clear graph.
