Python vs R Functions Comparison

R and Python have similar functions for common data science tasks like importing and working with data frames. In R, packages are installed with install.packages() and loaded with library(), while in Python packages use pip install and are imported. Both languages can read CSV files, get/set the working directory, check the data type, and obtain a data frame's dimensions, column names, and summary statistics. R uses functions like rownames(), colnames(), and dim() while Python uses attributes like df.index, df.columns, and df.shape.
