Don’t panic if your screen looks different!
You can click and drag the panes to rearrange them, but the names of the quadrants (Source, Console, Environment, Files) will always be the same.
Section 1.2 RStudio
Currently we are using RStudio to run R.
Here, there are 4 quadrants/panes
-
Source - top left
-
This is where 99% of all of your code will be written.
-
-
Console - bottom left
-
This is where we will see if our code ran or if we have errors. That remaining 1% of code written from before will be done here.
-
-
Environment - top right
-
This is where you see what is being stored in your environment, such as data, values, and functions.
-
-
Files/Plots/Packages/etc - bottom right
-
There are many tabs here, which are mostly self-explanatory
-
Now that we know what we are looking at, let’s get into some R code!
It was explained that a vast majority of our code will be written in the source quadrant, specifically, in an R Script. Once R Studio has been opened, you can go to file, file new, then click on R Script. A brand new R Script has now been opened for you to begin your coding adventure!
