Little install help for R in VS code..

In this blog, I am going to illustrate how to install R in vs code. I am not well versed proficient in R programming, I have started my first step. When I tried to install R in VS code I faced many problems, as there were limited videos to install R in Internet and also if we crossed any error during installation, it will be most tedious thing to clear it off.

I have referred https://renkun.me/2019/12/11/writing-r-in-vscode-a-fresh-start/ blog to install R in VS code and other errors which I have overcome I searched in various sites and YouTube videos. If you need to overview above mentioned blog link is there please go through.
