You really don't need to set up your own environment to start learning the R programming language. T he reason is simple: we've set up an R programming environment online so that you can compile and execute all available examples online while you're doing theoretical work. T his gives you confidence that you are reading and checks the results with different options. Feel free to modify any examples and execute them online.

Instance:

# Print Hello World. 
print("Hello World") 
 
# Add two numbers. 
print(23.9 + 11.6)
