2.2 Script Window vs. Console Window

• The Script Window is the place to enter and run your code so that it is easily edited and saved for future use. Usually the Script Window is shown at the top left in RStudio. If this window is not shown, it will be visible is you open a previously saved R script, or if you create a new R Script. You create new R Script by clicking on File > New File > R Script in the RStudio menu bar.

• To execute your code in the R script, you can either highlight the code and click on Run, or you can highlight the code and press CTRL + Enter on your keyboard.

• If you prefer, you can enter code directly in the Console Window and click Enter. The commands that you run will be shown in the History Window on the top right of RStudio. You can save these commands for future use.
