Key differences between R and SAS

CharacteristicRSAS
SyntaxR has a syntax that is similar to the S programming language, which is designed for data analysis and graphics. It uses a functional programming style and has a wide range of built-in functions for statistical analysis.SAS has a syntax that is similar to the SQL programming language, which is designed for data management and analysis. It uses a procedural programming style and has a wide range of built-in functions for statistical analysis.
ParadigmR is a functional programming language that is designed for data analysis and graphics. It emphasizes the use of functions and data structures to manipulate data.SAS is a procedural programming language that is designed for data management and analysis. It emphasizes the use of procedures and data steps to manipulate data.
TypingR is a dynamically typed language, which means that the data type of a variable is determined at runtime.SAS is a statically typed language, which means that the data type of a variable is determined at compile time.
PerformanceR can be slower than SAS for large datasets and complex computations, but it has improved significantly in recent years with the development of packages like data.table and dplyr.SAS is known for its speed and efficiency in handling large datasets and complex computations.
Libraries and frameworksR has a large and active community that has developed many packages for statistical analysis, data visualization, and machine learning, such as ggplot2, dplyr, and caret.SAS has a large and established library of procedures and functions for statistical analysis, data management, and reporting.
Community and supportR has a large and active community of users and developers who contribute to the development of packages and provide support through forums and mailing lists.SAS has a smaller but dedicated community of users and developers who provide support through forums and user groups.
Learning curveR has a steep learning curve for beginners due to its syntax and functional programming style, but there are many resources available for learning, such as online courses, books, and tutorials.SAS has a relatively low learning curve for beginners due to its simple syntax and user-friendly interface, but it can become more complex for advanced users.
