What is R?

R is a high-level programming language used for statistics and data analysis.

R is an interpreted language

R is an interpreted language. This means the code is executed line by line, rather than being compiled into machine code first.

R is case-sensitive

R is case-sensitive, meaning that 'myVariable' is different from 'MyVariable'.

R is open-source

R is open-source software, meaning it's free to use, modify, and distribute.
