R is an open-source programming language designed for statistical computation and data analysis, supporting various statistical techniques and machine learning models. Developed as an alternative to the S programming language, R has evolved since its inception in 1991 and is now widely used among statisticians and data scientists. Key features include cross-platform compatibility, ease of use, and a rich ecosystem of packages for data modeling and visualization.

R- PROGRAMMING

INTRODUCTION

 R programming language is an open-source programming language for statistical


computation.
 It supports n number of statistical analysis techniques, machine learning models, and
graphical visualization for data analysis.
 It serves the purpose of the free software environment for statistical computation and
graphics.
 GNU package is the official R software environment. The GNU package has written
in C, Fortran, and R(itself).
 Under the GNU (General Public License), it is freely available.
 R language has ranked among the top programming languages in the TIOBE index

HISTORY OF R PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE


R programming language is the extended version of the S programming language. John
Chambers, the creator of the S programming language in 1976 at Bell laboratories. In 1988,
the official version of the S language came into existence with the name S-PLUS. The R
language is almost the unchanged version of S-PLUS.

-- In 1991, the two Gentleman's Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentlemen, researched to find the
alternative of S programming language that is independent on S-PLUS.
-- In 1993, they started publicizing the alternative. It has partially named on the first two R
authors and two S authors.
-- In 1995, another gentleman Martin Maechler convinced the other two to make R as free
and open-source software with n number of other formers. The official version was released.
-- On 23rd April 1997, Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) commercially
announced with few minor changes and contributed packages.
-- On 29th Feb 2000, the first official "stable beta" version was released.
-- The latest released version 4.1.2 on 01-11-2021.

FEATURES OF R
 R runs on almost any standard computing platform and operating system.
 Its open source nature means that anyone is free to adapt the software to whatever
platform they choose.
 R has been reported to be running on modern tablets, phones, PDAs, and game
consoles.
 One nice feature that R shares with many popular open source projects is frequent
releases.
 R programming language is easy to understand and implement. It supports a handful
of built-in functions.
 The packages are available to create an effective R program, data models, and
graphical charts.
 For research and analytics purposes, it is a popular language among statisticians and
data scientists.
 It supports cross-platform portability. Multiple operating systems support the R
language.
 R studio IDE is used to manage the R programming scripts.
