Very simple questions if anyone can help: (1) what is the value in saving workspaces, which is offered at every close? I thought it might save the set up of the GUI but I cant work out what it does ? I run a script that loads the packages I need at the start of every session.
Saving a workspace doesn't save the packages you have loaded, but does save your data in its current state, as well as any sourced functions. Very useful if you have a bunch of work you don't want to reconstruct, or a simulation that just took three days to run.
(2) mathematica has a term (%) that when typed means the last returned value, so > % + 1 say would return the last outputted value +1 .is there an R equivalent please?
I don't think so - you need to assign that value to something to be able to reuse it. Sarah
