R Language Tutorial => Executing Chunk Code

Example

You can run the current chunk by clicking Run current Chunk (green play button) present on the right side of the chunk. Alternatively we can use keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Enter (OS X: Cmd + Shift + Enter)

The output from all the lines in the chunk will appear beneath the chunk.

Splitting Code into Chunks

Since a chunk produces its output beneath the chunk, when having multiple lines of code in a single chunk that produces multiples outputs it is often helpful to split into multiple chunks such that each chunk produces one output.

To do this, select the code to you want to split into a new chunk and press Ctrl + Alt + I (OS X: Cmd + Option + I)
