Abstract
R has over 18,000 packages, most of which contain functions. Functions are at the heart of R and provide R with R’s great versatility. Functions are R objects, and they are of the closure, builtin, or special type, the function mode, and the function class. Packaged functions are functions that have been created as a part of an R package. On the computer, packages are stored in a library (i.e., in a folder) and are placed in the library (folder) when installed.
