2.4 Getting Help

R is a complex language to learn and the syntax is very particular. You can get quick help in a number of ways.

• Note the text that appears in the Console Window regarding demos, help, or quitting. This approach exists prior to the introduction of RStudio.

• You can type ?something for help on something in R. If you type ?mean, documentation appears in the Help window on the Arithmetic Mean.

• You can go to the Help window and type what you need help by the search icon in the right-hand part of the window.

• Or you can google what you need.
