OOPs in R Programming Language
In R programming, OOPs in R provide classes and objects as its key tools to reduce and manage the complexity of the program. R is a functional language that uses concepts of OOPs. We can think of a class as a sketch of a car. It contains all the details about the model_name, model_no, engine, etc. Based on these descriptions we select a car. The car is the object. Each car object has its own characteristics and features. An object is also called an instance of a class and the process of creating this object is called instantiation. In R S3 and S4 classes are the two most important classes for object-oriented programming. But before going discussing these classes let’s see a brief about classes and objects.
R – Object Oriented Programming
In this article, we will discuss Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs) in R Programming Language. We will discuss the S3 and S4 classes, the inheritance in these classes, and the methods provided by these classes.
