A workflow consists of an orchestrated and repeatable pattern of business activity enabled by the systematic organization of resources into processes that transform materials, provide services, or process information.
Both R and Python have similar workflows but slightly different syntax. one of the biggest difference is how they refer to parts of object ( $ [] in R while [] in Python) as well as how they apply functions ( fun(object) in R while object.fun() in Python)
