This is a very basic question, but since I am new to R and I am starting to learn it now, I am buying this book.

http://www.amazon.in/Cookbook-OReilly-Cookbooks-Paul-Teetor/dp/0596809158

Now, after reading the sampler available on the internet, I found out that all the examples are given in R but I use Rstudio. I just wanted to know that the same instructions and syntax will work in Rstudio as well, right?

Thanks!

Basically - yes. RStudio is (only) the IDE (Integrated development environment - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment) for R.

Hovewer, R Cookbook is from 2011, so it's recipes depend on quite old R version. It's possible, that some of recipes won't work, not because of using RStudio, but because of using newer R version.
