The Actuarial Club mobile appI mean to ask why not intermediate R. If you know the basics already.

I feel picking up any language and learning if from basic to advanced should be the main focus, doesn’t matter if it is R or python, the difference lies only in the syntax and also the fact that python can be used for large amount of data. DrastiZaveri wrote:

Absolutely. Syntax changes and you Python can be considered as an overall language rather than just statistical so if you are starting, Python would be a nice choice but if someone has started on R, it isn’t bad at all!
