Is R an interpreted or compiled programming language?
211
In general, the language itself is not compiled or interpreted. So, R could be either interpreted or compiled. Nonetheless, in the most common implementation, R is interpreted.
The official R software environment is an open-source free software environment within the GNU package, available under the GNU General Public License. It is written primarily in C, Fortran, and R itself (partially self-hosting). Precompiled executables are provided for various operating systems.
R does not need a compiler. R is an interpreted programming language and doesn't need a compiler to operate because there is no need to compile code into an object language.
R is an open source programming language that's optimized for statistical analysis and data visualization. Developed in 1992, R has a rich ecosystem with complex data models and elegant tools for data reporting.
