# R getwd() and setwd() Functions - Working Directory [ R Language Examples](https://example.com/r/r-examples.html) The R getwd() function is used to get the current working directory, and setwd() is used to set the working directory. The working directory is the default path where R reads and writes files. The syntax format for the two functions is as follows: getwd() setwd(dir) **Parameter Description:** * **dir** - The new working directory path (string). ## Example # Get current working directory current_dir <-getwd() print(paste("Current working directory:", current_dir)) # View directory contents print("Directory file list:") print(list.files()) # Set working directory (example) # setwd("/Users/username/projects/tutorial") # View R's installation directory print(paste("R installation directory (R.home):", R.home())) Executing the above code will display the current R working directory and file list. > When reading or writing files, if only the file name is provided (without a path), R will look for the file in the current working directory. To ensure code portability, it is recommended to set the correct working directory first. [ R Language Examples](https://example.com/r/r-examples.html)
