What is R?
R
is a programming language. It provides a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. We can use R language to perform many interesting tasks such as linear regression, time series, statistical inference, etc. We can also write all the latest statistical and graphical programs using R.
For example, a statistician can use R language to find the most expensive item sold in a supermarket from its sales dataset. Or; a telecom operator could investigate operational optimizations by running simulations in R. R language makes programming easy and provides many tools for developers. It also makes it easy to build GUIs(Graphical User Interface).
