If you are a beginner in computer programming and are eager to understand general computer programming, R language is not an ideal choice. What can you choose? Python、C？ Or? Java .
Both R language and C language are the research results of Bell Laboratories, but the emphasis is different. R language is an explanatory language for mathematical theory researchers, and C language is designed for computer software engineers.
R language features:
1, R language environment software belongs to GNU open source software with good compatibility and free use.
2. Grammar is very beneficial to complex mathematical operations.
3. The data types are rich, including common data structures such as vectors, matrices, factors and data sets.
4. The code style is good and readable.
Although R is mainly used for statistical analysis or development of statistical related software, it is also used for matrix calculation. Its analysis speed can be compared with GNU Octave, a free software specialized in matrix calculation, and MATLAB, a commercial software.
