What is R script

  • An R script is a plain text file in which you save your R code
  • Script allows you to show your work to others, and also reproduce and modify the results
Show slide

Creating a folder for our project

  • Before you begin please create a folder named myProject on Desktop.
  • I have already created this folder on my Desktop.
  • I shall now save all my scripts and data sets in this folder.
  • Later, I shall set this folder as my Working Directory.
[RStudio]

RStudio window

Let us switch to RStudio.
[RStudio]

Highlight the tabs Untitled1 and R packages available in the Source window

We will close these two tabs named Untitled1 and R packages available.

Click on the small cross symbol next to these tabs.

[RStudio]

Click on the green plus sign >> select R Script from the dropdown

We will now create a new R script.
  • In the top left corner of RStudio, click on the green plus sign.
  • Now from the dropdown menu, select R Script.
Highlight the new R script Untitled1 A new R script appears in the Source window.

You can also create a new R script by pressing Ctrl+Shift+N together.

Click on File Let us save this R script first.

In the top left corner of the screen, click on the File option.

Click on Save option Then click on Save to save the script.
Select the directory myProject>> type name myfirstscript>> click on Save button Select the directory where you want to save your R script.

I am saving the script in the folder myProject on my Desktop, with the name myfirstscript.

Finally, click on the Save button.

Point to myfirstscript.R in the Source window Now you can see that the file is named as myfirstscript.R.

RStudio automatically adds dot R at the end of the filename.

Now, let us write some lines of code in the script file myfirstscript.R.
[RStudio]

testSample <- c(1,2,3,4)

We will create a vector named testSample with one two three four as its elements.

We have already learned how to create vectors earlier in this series.

In the Source window, type testSample space less than symbol.Now type hyphen space c 1 comma 2 comma 3 comma 4 in parentheses.

Press Enter.

Highlight <- symbol You may also use equal sign in place of less than symbol followed by hyphen.
Highlight Save icon In the Source window, to the left of the checkbox Source on Save, click on the Save icon.

Or, press Ctrl+S together to save the file.

[RStudio]

print(testSample)

We will now use the print function to display the values in testSample vector.

In the Source window, type p r i

Highlight the predicted functions RStudio automatically starts suggesting different functions.
You can navigate this list of functions by using the up (↑) and down (↓) arrow keys on the keyboard.
Press Enter To select a particular function, just press Enter.
Finish typing print testSample in parentheses and press Enter.
Press Ctrl+S Now let’s save the file and run it with these two lines only.
Now, we maximize the Source window.
[RStudio]

Highlight Source button in the Source window

Highlight the output in Console window

In the top right corner of the Source window, click on the Source button.

You can see the line-by-line execution of the script in the Console.

You can also run the script by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter together.

For this, you need to first click in the script window.

[RStudio]

firstVar = 10

Now let’s declare a variable firstVar with value of ten in the Source window.

Type firstVar with capital V space equal sign space 10 and press Enter.

Please note that R language is case-sensitive.
[RStudio]

print(firstVar)

We will now use the print function to show the value of firstVar.

In the Source window, type print.

I am typing only p r i n but the options appear and I select print from there. Now in parentheses, start typing firstVar.

RStudio shows firstVar; press Enter to select it.

Press Enter to go to the next line.

[RStudio]

secondVar = 15

print(secondVar)

Now let’s declare another variable secondVar with value of fifteen.

In the Source window, type secondVar space equal sign space 15 and press Enter.

Now, as shown before, type print secondVar in parentheses to show its value and press Enter .

We can add comments to our code by using # hash symbol followed by our comment.
[RStudio]

# Creating an R script

Highlight the comment line and first line of code

Type hash symbol space Creating an R script before the declaration of testSample vector.

R interprets each line of code.

Please make sure that your comment and the first line of code appear in separate lines.

Click on the line print(secondVar) Now, let’s comment the line print(secondVar).

To do that, first click on this line.

from Code option >>

Comment/Uncomment Lines

Then from the top menu bar of RStudio, click on the Code option.

From the dropdown menu, click on the Comment/Uncomment Lines option.

This option helps us to comment as well as uncomment a line.

Highlight hash symbol On doing so, we see a hash symbol with space.
Delete # symbol For now, we will uncomment print(secondVar) and save our script.

Delete # hash symbol at the beginning of this line.

[RStudio]

Click on the Source button

Now let’s run the script file.

In the top right corner of the Source window, click on the Source button.

Now maximize the Console.
Highlight the Console window The line-by-line execution of the script is shown in the Console window.
Highlight the output in Console The sample vector [1 2 3 4] is printed.

The values of two variables, 10 and 15 are printed.

Click on the broom icon in the Console window We will clear the Console by clicking on the broom icon.
Now, we minimize the Console window.
Now let’s move ahead.
Highlight the file myfirstscript.R Suppose, we want to run only a block of code after print(testSample) from the file myfirstscript.R.
[RStudio]

Highlighting the block of code

First, select or highlight the block of code, starting from firstVar equals 10 to the end.
Click on Run button Then in the top right corner of the Source window, click on the Run button with an arrow.
Highlight the output in Console window Now you can see the output of only the highlighted part of the code in the Console window.

The output shows the values of two variables, 10 and 15 only.

Run a block using Ctrl+Enter You can also run a particular block by highlighting it and pressing Ctrl+Enter together.
Click on broom icon We will clear the Console window by clicking on the broom icon.
[RStudio]

Creating an R script using Ctrl+Shift+N

Now let us create another R script.

Use Ctrl+Shift+N to open a new script.

Save this script in the same folder myProject with the name mysecondscript.

Now let’s learn how to load myfirstscript.R into mysecondscript.R.
[RStudio]

Source

Go to myfirstscript.R and run it by clicking on the Source button.
Highlight the source line

source('~/Desktop/myProject/myfirstscript.R', echo=TRUE).

In the Console window, scroll up to locate the source for this script.
Copying the source line Copy it without the symbol.
Back to mysecondscript.R Now let’s get back to our new script mysecondscript.R
Pasting the source line Paste what we have just copied, at the top of the script mysecondscript.R
We can press Enter after comma for better visibility.
Type print("Script loaded") Next, write one more line to ensure that the execution is from this script only.

In the Source window, type print and then the following words in parentheses.

In double quotes, Script space loaded.

Press Enter.

Press Ctrl+S keys Save the script.
Click on the broom icon in Console Let us clear the Console again by clicking on the broom icon.
Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter keys Now run the script by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter together.
Maximize the Console window.
Highlight the output You can see the output in the Console window and verify the results.
Now, we minimize the Console window.
This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize.
