Abstract

This chapter covers the R prompt and the RStudio main menus and subwindows. It starts with descriptions of the three parts of R: objects, operators, and assignments. It continues with a discussion of working with the R prompt, followed by an example of doing a calculation at the R prompt. Afterward, it describes the RStudio main menus and the four RStudio subwindows. One nice thing about RStudio is that when you type, it provides autocompletion for object names. But RStudio can be slow to load and run.
