How do I run these R programs?

Install R from CRAN, save as main.R, and run with Rscript main.R.

Do these examples require external packages?

No. Examples use base R to maximize portability.

Can I copy, modify, and share these examples?

Yes. Copy, tweak inputs, and observe outputs to reinforce concepts.

Will these programs run on all platforms?

Yes. R works on Windows, macOS, and Linux with a standard installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Install R (from CRAN). Save the code in a file like main.R, then run Rscript main.R from your terminal. Alternatively, use an IDE such as RStudio.

No. All examples rely on base R functions to ensure compatibility across systems. Where packages are useful, they’ll be explicitly mentioned.

Yes. Copy the code, tweak inputs, and observe outputs. Experimentation is the fastest way to build intuition and mastery.

Yes. R is cross-platform. The examples run on Windows, macOS, and Linux with a standard R installation.

Learn R the Practical Way

R is a powerful language for data analysis, visualization, and statistical computing. Practicing small, focused programs builds fluency with vectors, data frames, lists, functions, control flow, and string manipulation.

On this page, you’ll find clean, well-formatted examples that run across platforms. Each example includes a short description and expected output so you can quickly verify your understanding. Explore the topics via the sidebar and extend the code to experiment further.
