R Tutorial | Learn R Programming Language

R is an interpreted programming language widely used for statistical computing, data analysis and visualization. R language is open-source with large community support. R provides structured approach to data manipulation, along with decent libraries and packages like Dplyr, Ggplot2, shiny, Janitor and more.

Hello World Program in R Language

Here is an example of the first Hello World program in R Programming Language. To print in R language you just need to use a Print function.

# Code
print("Hello World!")

Output

Why Use R Programming Language?

R programming language is a best resource for data science, data analysis, data visualization and machine learning. R provides various statistical techniques like statistical tests, clustering and data reduction. Graph making is easy eg. pie chart, histogram, box, plot, etc. R is totally free and open-source Programming language. The community support with the R language is very large and it works on all OS. R programming comes with many packages (libraries of functions) to solve various problems.

Applications of R Programming Language

Some of the important applications of R Programming Language are listed below:

• R is used in wide range of industries for example academics, government, insurance, retail, energy, media, technology, and electronics.
• R helps in importing and cleaning data and data analysis.
• R is used in data science. R language provides us many libraries for data science e.g. Dplyr, Ggplot2, shiny, Lubridate, Knitr, Caret, Janitor.
