📌 What is R?

R is a programming language and environment mainly used for statistical computing, data
analysis, and visualization.
It is widely used by data scientists, statisticians, and researchers.

⚙️Features of R:

 Open-source and free


 Designed for data manipulation and analysis
 Strong graphical capabilities (e.g., plots, charts)
 Extensive package ecosystem (CRAN)
 Interacts easily with other languages (C, C++, Python)

🧠 Basic Data Types in R:

 Numeric – Numbers (e.g., 10, 3.14)


 Integer – Whole numbers (e.g., 10L)
 Character – Text (e.g., "Hello")
 Logical – TRUE or FALSE
 Complex – Complex numbers (e.g., 4+3i)
 Factor – Categorical data

🧺 Data Structures in R:

Structure Description Example


Vector Sequence of data c(1, 2, 3)
Matrix 2D array matrix(1:6, nrow=2)
List Collection of different types list(1, "A", TRUE)
Data Frame Table-like structure data.frame(Name, Age)

📊 Popular R Functions:

 print() – Print output


 mean(), sum(), sd() – Math/stats functions
 plot(), hist() – Basic plotting
 read.csv() – Load CSV file
 str() – Structure of an object
 summary() – Quick data summary

📦 Useful R Packages:
