Why is R called R?

R is the most popular language in the world of Data Science. It is heavily used in analyzing data that is both structured and unstructured . This has made R, the standard language for performing statistical operations. R allows various features that set it apart from other Data Science languages.

R was created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and is currently developed by the R Development Core Team, of which Chambers is a member. R is named partly after the first names of the first two R authors and partly as a play on the name of S . R is a GNU project.

R is known for being hard to learn . This is in large part because R is so different to many programming languages. The syntax of R, unlike languages like Python, is very difficult to read.

R is a programming language used for statistical computing while RStudio uses the R language to develop statistical programs. In R, you can write a program and run the code independently of any other computer program. RStudio however, must be used alongside R in order to properly function.

RStudio is an integrated development environment (IDE) for R . It includes a console, syntax-highlighting editor that supports direct code execution, as well as tools for plotting, history, debugging and workspace management.

Introduction to R R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics . It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues.
