What is a function in R programming?

Question

Could someone tell me what is a function in R Programming?

Answer 1

R has many in-built functions that are organized statements that work towards a specific task when fed with input as arguments. Let me explain how it all works in R. In R, a function is treated as an object, so, R interpreter will pass the control to this object or function along with the required inputs (arguments) to achieve the objective of the function. And once that has been achieved, the R interpreter retains the control with results if any, which might be stored in other objects. R is a very good programming language that has achieved a high status in the data science domain and is also deployed in numerous mission-critical business applications, all because of the valuable contributions made by the R community, which helped it evolve to newer levels.
