Hi. I am an undergraduate student and am interested in learning how to program in R. Could anyone recommend a book for beginners who have coding experience in C++ and Python that provides great example code, practice problems and solutions?
R in a Nutshell is my go-to reference book when I want to dig deep into base R. The Hadley Whickam books R for Data Science and Advanced R are also fantastic introductions to R and the internals of R with a focus on the tidyverse, although it does go over a lot of base R concepts also. If you want to get into R stats, An Introduction to Statistical Learning in R is a must read.
What makes R great is thanks to the powerful tidyverse package. So for general purpose data science, I've learned it through a combination of books but mostly R for data science and ModernDive while Yarrr teaches base R.
For specifically programming, Advanced R deals with it and has some recommendations.
It's maybe not the answer you were looking for but the question was vague enough.

Are you looking to get into the field of bioinformatics? I ask because this is a bioinformatics forum and you might be better off asking elsewhere if you're looking at a different field as your endgame.
Yes. I am working on a B.S. in bioinformatics.
