RStudio

What is RStudio and its benefits over standard R?

RStudio was built to make your life easy as a R programmer. It is available in open source for FREE. Unlike standard R, it supports various premium features such as intelligent code completion, syntax highlighting, structured R documentation, interactive debugging tool etc.

In layman’s term, RStudio is just an interface enhancement to standard R. Programming is similar in both the platforms.
