Summary

Having installed the R and RStudio systems, you are now ready to begin to learn the art of statistical programming. The first step is to learn the syntax of the language that you will be programming in; you need to know the rules of the language. This chapter will give you an introduction to the syntax of R. Most of what we discuss here relates to what you would type into the R console or into the RStudio script window.
