R Programming - a Comprehensive Guide

R programming has gained importance in different fields due its flexibility, rich packages, platform independent characteristics, data analysis & data visualization capabilities and building various models like machine learning models. It facilitates the incorporation of codes of other languages such as C, C++ and Java in its programming environment.   

 R programming is an open source platform which is developed by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman from University of Auckland during the year 1991. It is a modified version of S language developed during 1976 by Bell Laboratories in USA. Currently the development process is being handled by the R core development team.
