the future

R vs Python

• If you are into Data Science, the two programming languages that
might immediately come to mind are R and Python.
• However, instead of considering them as two options, more often
than not, we end up comparing the two.
• R and Python, are excellent tools in their own right but are very
often conceived as rivals.
• If you type R vs Python, in your Google search bar, you instantly
get a plethora of resources on topic which talks about the
supremacy of one over the other.
WHY NOT USE BOTH?

• There are people in the data science community who are using both
Python and R, but their percentage is small.
• On the other hand, there are a lot of people who are committed to
only one programming language nut wished they had access to
some of the capabilities of their adversary.
R Vs Python

• Object-oriented language • Consists of packages for almost any statistical


• General purpose application one can think of. CRAN currently
• Has a lot of extensions and hosts more than 10k packages.
• incredible community support • It comes equipped with excellent visualization
• Simple and easy to understand libraries like ggplot2.
and learn. • Capable of standalone analyses.
• Packages like pandas, numpy and • Performance wise R is not the fastest language

choice for machine learning activities. dealing with large datasets.
• However, Python doesn’t have specialized

packages for statistical computing, unlike R.


CONCLUSION:

• Both R programming language and Python programming


language are quite robust languages and either one of them is
actually sufficient to carry out the data analysis task.
• However, there are definitely some high and low points for both of
them and if we could utilize the strengths of both, we could end up
doing a much better job.
• Either way, having knowledge of both will make us more flexible
thereby increasing our chances of being able to work in multiple
environments.

Python, you can hire codeavail professional programming experts
