r: Check R version.
$ R --version
try on your machine
The command "R --version" is used to display the version of R programming language installed on your system.
When you run this command in the command line or terminal, it will execute the "R" executable with the "version" option. The "R" executable is the interpreter for the R programming language.
By running this command, you will see the version number of the R programming language along with additional details like the platform on which it is running, the date of the release, and other relevant information about the installation. This can be helpful when you need to check which version of R is installed on your system, especially when dealing with compatibility issues or when getting support for R-related problems.
