Comment/Statements



The comment symbol for R is the pound sign #

Line continuation in the command window is automatic; if a carriage return is hit before a statement is closed, then the R environment assumes that the statement is being continued on the next line.

Samples

# This is a comment

# The following two lines are acceptable to R

  sin(pi +         # an 'open' expression is assumed 
  0.5*pi)          # to be continued on the next line
