Arrays in R programming
When it is needed to store many elements of same type or mode into one data object in R, you can use array. Actually, vector and matrix are special types of array with one and two dimensions respectively.

If we want to store data of same mode or type in a two-dimensional array in R data analysis, matrix may be the most appropriate data structure to use. A matrix is just coming from a vector expanded in two dimensions with rows and columns, this is why the input subject is often a vector when a matrix is generated.
Vector in R programming is one-dimensional array. Its element can be numeric, character, or logital data. To create a vector in R, you can use function c().
Like in many other programming languages, packages in R are just collections of built-in functions and datasets are combined with R installation in a well-defined format. Library is directories where packages, either come with basic R installation or being manually installed, are stored on computer. In this post, we provide several important and useful functions associated with R package management.
RStudio acts as an computer-app for using R in a more freindly manner than the default R command window. Before using RStudio, R has to be installed first. In this post , we shortly introduce how to install R and RStudio on Windows.
R is one of the most popular programming languages and framework for statistical data analysis and data science. R has a relatively easy learning curve, and is suitable for anyone who has basic knowledge of using computer and is eager to learn programming skills.
