Entering Data

Note that many of the commands given below are available in both R and S-plus, however their implementation may be slightly different. Determining the arguments for a given function, in either software, is straightforward. From the command line, type args(moo) to display the arguments of the function moo. An example is given in R and S-plus which illustrates the potential differences among the sofware. In R

> args(rep)
function (x, times, length.out, each) 
NULL

and in S-plus version 3.4

> args(rep)
function(x, times, length.out)
NULL

This function will be explained later in the section.
