A programming language structure wherein the data and their associated processing ("methods") are defined as self-contained entities called "objects." Becoming popular in the early 1990s and the norm ...

Computer programs can use data, evaluate if-then conditions on the data and use extremely fast iterative loops to perform these functions. In software programs, these functions get organized into ...

Vectors, lists, arrays, matrices and data frames -- a look at five of the most fundamental data structures built into R. Among my colleagues, R is one of the fastest-growing programming languages.

One of the easiest ways to understand what is meant by ‘object oriented’, is to define what it is not. Before Object Oriented Programming (OOP) programs were written an imperative way, essentially a ...
