And Rcpp does not sacrifice execution speed for the ease of use, anyone can get high performance outcome.
This document focuses on providing necessary information to users who are not familiar with C++. Therefore, in some cases, I explain usage of Rcpp conceptually rather than describing accurately from the viewpoint of C++, so that I hope readers can easily understand it.
