[Tex/LaTex] How to only make one word ‘verbatim’

verbatim

How can I make only one word "verbatim" in LaTeX?

For example:

\usepackage{verbatim}
\begin{document}
The\begin{verbatim} TableForm[]\end{verbatim} shown below is a trig table which....

The only thing I want to be "verbatim" is TableForm[]. But when I do
begin{verbatim} TableForm[] \end{verbatim}, the rest of hte words I have become deleted

I want my final output to look like this:

This is what i have so far:

\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb,graphicz,wasysym}

\begin{document}
\begin{verbatim}
\item{The \texttt{TableForm[]} shown below is a trig table which shows sine, cosine, and tangent values for integer angles from $0^{\circ}$ through $90^{\circ}$ in steps of $3^{\circ}$. Like we said in class, we could save \verb|TableForm[]|  as a PDF and import it like we've done a few times.}
\bigskip
\end{verbatim}

Your code works fine when the extra verbatim environment and \item are removed:

\documentclass[12pt]{book}

\begin{document}
The \texttt{TableForm[]} shown below is a trig table which shows sine, cosine,
and tangent values for integer angles from $0^{\circ}$ through $90^{\circ}$ in
steps of $3^{\circ}$. Like we said in class, we could save \verb|TableForm[]|
as a PDF and import it like we've done a few times.
\end{document}

\begin{verbatim} ... \end{verbatim} outputs the text ... literally as given in your code, so all LaTeX commands in it are ignored. You should only use this environment if you want to typeset longer listings of source code or similar.

The package fancyvrb has the enhanced Verbatim environment, and the key xleftmargin:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}

\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}

\noindent A non-verbatim line
\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=.5in]
Some verbatim
lines
\end{Verbatim}
\noindent Another line
\end{document}

enter image description here

Moreover, you can redefine the standard verbatim like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}

\DefineVerbatimEnvironment{verbatim}{Verbatim}{xleftmargin=.5in}

\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\noindent A non-verbatim line
\begin{verbatim}
Some verbatim
lines
\end{verbatim}
\noindent Another line
\end{document}

This gives the same result as above

You might want to consider using minted. It offers syntax highlighting for GNU R through the external program pygmentize.

Make sure that pygmentize is in your $PATH and typeset the following MWE using pdflatex -shell-escape.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\tiny
\begin{minted}{rconsole}
> dim(X)   #dimension of our matrix X

> length(Y) # length of out output y

> cv=cv.glmnet(X,Y,nfolds=10) # run 10 folds CV 
> cv$lambda.min  # The optimal value of lambda

# Beta are the coefficient estimated by lasso
> beta=coef(cv,"lambda.min")
