Which R function saves a workspace in RStudio?

Which of the following statements about writing code in the file editor and the console are true?

1. The file editor is used to write and save R code.
2. The console is used to execute R code.
3. The file editor is used to execute R code.
4. The console is used to write and save R code.

Answer :

The R function to save a workspace is save.image(). The file editor in RStudio is used for writing and saving R code with a .R extension, while the console is used to execute R code. So, the correct option is 1) The file editor is used to write and save R code. 2) The console is used to execute R code.

The function to save a workspace in RStudio is save.image(). When using RStudio, the file editor is typically used to write and save R code, and indeed script files usually have the .R extension. To execute R code, you have two primary methods; you can use the console to run commands interactively, or you can write your code in the file editor and then run it using the Run or Source buttons to send the code to the console. Statement 1 about the file editor is true as it is used to write and save R code. Statement 2 is correct in that the console is used to execute R code. Statement 3's claim that the file editor executes R code is only true in the sense that you can submit code to the console from the editor, but the actual execution happens in the console, not the editor. Statement 4 is incorrect because the console is not typically used to write and save R code; this is primarily done in the file editor. So, the correct option is 1) The file editor is used to write and save R code. 2) The console is used to execute R code.
