How do I check version of R language installed on my system?

I installed r language and r studio on my Fedora-20 system few months back. After that I got busy and now coming back to it. I wanted to know what my R version is, and I am unable to find any help on it. Is there any command/function I can use to find out version of r and rstudio?

There is a version command (not function) in R that provide a fulfilling overview on R environment and version:

> version _ platform x86_64-w64-mingw32 arch x86_64 os mingw32 system x86_64, mingw32 status major 3 minor 2.1 year 2015 month 06 day 18 svn rev 68531 language R version.string R version 3.2.1 (2015-06-18) nickname World-Famous Astronaut

Type R --version at the linux command line.

You can use getRversion() or R.Version()$version.string to show info under R, if you want to check R version from Ubuntu you need to type:

dpkg -s r-base 

When you start the R console, it should say across the top
