Are statistical programming languages like R/SAS considered functional or procedural?

Question

I still don't understand the difference after reading [this][1] [1]: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23277/what-is-the-difference-between-procedural-programming-and-functional-programming So, rather than asking what is the difference between functional vs procedural programming, I thought, maybe a language that I am familiar with can serve as an example. Hence, my questions: Are the languages R/SAS considered procedural or functional?

Answer 1

I haven't used SAS in a while but it used to be functional. you gave parameters to a pre-written routine.
