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. |
