title: Difference between read.csv() and read.csv2() in R
body: <p>In R , what is the difference between read.csv() and read.csv2()</p>
  
  <p>The official documentation says, </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>In various European locales, as the comma character serves as the
    decimal point, the function read.csv2 should be used instead</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What does this mean. I don't see any difference at the superficial level. Can anybody give out a concrete example to clarify it further.</p>
