“Vectors in R are not required to consist of a single type, so you can mix the types above all in one subscript!”

I think you got this wrong here, but right in your other blog: http://www.johndcook.com/R_language_for_programmers.html.

Thanks for sharing this concise information, it is very helpful. It would help even more, if you can add the list and data.frame indexing (e.g., [1] vs. [[1]]) and accessing slots and attributes to this list.

also, strings can be used as subscripts when doingr double-bracket indexing for lists.

I looked at R when SwRI began an internal multivariate statistical control project. I was both amazed at the project and dumbfounded by its complexity. I really wanted time to study the scripting language, but alas, I found I could write a program to do a calculation in less time than I could learn the in’s and out’s of programming R. It’s a heck of a program and the language is very powerful. But, don’t pick it up on Thursday, thinking you’ll be ready to use it Monday morning.

(Incidentally, R is what kicked off the whole port of DCDFLIB to .Net flurry in my office.)
