R is a language which bears a passing resemblance to the S language
|
|
developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories. It provides support for a
|
|
variety of statistical and graphical analyses. R is a true
|
|
computer language which contains a number of control-flow
|
|
constructions for iteration and alternation. It allows users to
|
|
add additional functionality by defining new functions. On
|
|
platforms which support the dlopen (3) interface, Fortran and C
|
|
code can be linked and called at run time.
|
|
|
|
R is very close to S in both syntax and semantics, but is not identical.
|
|
Whether this is a bug or feature is an open question.
