Abstract

R programming is a programming language with object-oriented features ideal for statistical computing and data visualizations. R programming can do descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and regression analysis. R programming is a GNU package and is a command line application. RStudio is an integrated development environment (IDE) for R programming. An IDE offers features to help you write code more easily and more productively by providing a code editor, compiler, and debugger. The code editor usually has syntax highlighting and intelligent code completion.
