Overview
The majority of students are having unclear
doubts between MATLAB vs R. The reason is both of
these languages are quite similar to each other.
Some of the common factors of these languages are
math functions and statistics. In this blog we
will show you the best comparison between MATLAB
vs R. Lets start-
4
MATLAB
MATLAB is one of the most popular software for
mathematical computation. It is specially
designed for scientists and engineers. MATLAB
stands for matrix laboratory. MATLAB was
developed in the late 1970s by Mathworks. You can
perform various functions with MATLAB, such
functions plotting, matrix manipulation,
algorithm implementations, user interface
creation, and much more. The best part of MATLAB
is, you can use interfacing with other programs
written in various languages such as Java, C,
C, and Python without any hassle. What makes
MATLAB different from other tools? The MATLAB
toolbox makes it different from others. With the
help of these toolboxes, you can perform various
functions in MATLAB.

R
R is an open-source programming language and
software environment. It is used to perform
statistical computation. R supports numerous
graphics for statistical computation. Apart from
that, R is also playing a significant role in
machine learning with its graphical and
statistical techniques. R is not a limited
language like other programming languages. You
can create user-created packages to extend the
features of R with the help of C, C, Java, or R
itself. R is only available as the command-line
tool. But if you want to access it as a graphical
user interface. You can use its one of the most
popular IDE i.e., R studio. Apart from that, R
programs can be easily edited with the help of
eclipse, Notepad, etc.

Programming paradigms
In MATLAB, you will get the directory of
functions that are used to work with objects. In
other words, in MATLAB, you need not follow a
well-defined programming syntax. You can perform
a variety of operations in MATLAB with the help
of its toolbox. It is offering a simple user
interface for the users.  On the other hand, In
R, you need to follow the well-defined syntaxes.
In R, you will find a variety of packages to
perform any task. R is offering object-oriented
programming paradigms. Its functions help the
programming to develop various kinds of programs
with ease.

Installation
MATLAB is licensed software. Thats why it is
impossible to install the same licensed version
of MATLAB on different operating systems. But you
can run the same version of MATLAB on different
operating systems if various is installed on the
same physical system. Apart from that, if we talk
about compatibility, then MATLAB is compatible
with multiple operating systems. On the other
hand, R is free to use programming language
because of its open-source nature. There it is
easy to run R on different operating systems
without paying anything. You can run the same
version of R programming on any number of
operating systems.

Usage
Matlab is specially designed for mathematics.
Some of the significant usages of MATLAB are
calculus, plotting graphs, etc. In other words,
MATLAB is specially designed to solve
mathematical computational. R is one of the most
powerful languages for data analysis. Apart from
that these days, universities are using MATLAB to
teach their students.  On the other hand, R is
used to solve problems statistics problems,
whereas R is offering a variety of prepackaged
programs to solve analytical problems. If we talk
about the analytics field, Then we should choose
R over Matlab. Apart from that, R is widely used
to perform data analysis by most of the
industries. Whereas many Universities mostly use
Matlab.

Add-on Products
MATLAB is known for its add-on products. MATLAB
offers you to add some of the products as Add-on
products. It helps you to perform a variety of
tasks with the help of these add on products. For
modeling, simulating, and analyzing multi-domain
systems in a graphical programming environment.
Then we use Simulink in MATLAB. On the other
hand, R doesnt have any add-on products. But R
offers a lot of packages that are used to perform
various tasks in R programming.

Functionalities
MATLAB is known for its add-on products. MATLAB
offers you to add some of the products as Add-on
products. It helps you to perform a variety of
tasks with the help of these add on products. For
modeling, simulating, and analyzing multi-domain
systems in a graphical programming environment.
Then we use Simulink in MATLAB.  On the other
hand, R doesnt have any add-on products. But R
offers a lot of packages that are used to perform
various tasks in R programming.

Cost
MATLAB is a licensed product of Mathworks. You
have to pay some amount of money to purchase the
MATLAB licensed version. There are various types
of MATLAB licenses available in the world. You
can pick any MATLAB version as per your
requirements.  On the other hand, R is an
open-source programming language. You need not
pay any amount of money to anyone to access R.
All you need to download it from its official
source.

Performance
If we talk about the performance between MATLAB
vs R. Then MATLAB is a lot faster than R
programming to perform technical computing tasks.
Apart from that, it is also faster than R for
statistics and machine learning.  On the other
hand, R is faster than MATLAB for proficient
developers to achieve results faster and improve
performance.
14
Support and Documentation
MATLAB has extensive documentation for the users.
MathWorks provided the best and most effective
documentation for MATLAB. You can search for the
documentation online with the help of the MATLAB
desktop. Here you will also find hundreds of code
examples. Apart from that, MATLAB also has 200
dedicated technical support experts around the
world. On the other hand, R is an open-source
programming language. It has the most robust
community for developers. Here you will find the
best support and documentation. If you face any
problem with your R program, then you can take
help from other developers in the R community.

Visualization
MATLAB supports applications developed with the
help of graphical user interface (GUI) features.
It offers 2D and 3D plotting functions. You can
create plots in interactive or programmatically
ways. Simulink is a graphical tool provided by
MATLAB. On the other hand, R is also an
excellent programming language for data
visualization. R offers the four major graphics
implementations. One of the most common
visualization implementations for R is Base
graphics. Apart from that Grid graphics, Lattice
graphics, and Ggplot2 are other implementation of
R.

Now you have seen the significant difference
between MATLAB vs R. Both of these software or
tools have their pros and cons. When we talk
about the data analysis, then MATLAB is the best
among the best. But when we talk about image
processing and other graphical works, then MATLAB
is the best option.
