The Function Keyword
In R, function objects are defined with this syntax:
function(arguments
)body
where
is a set of
symbol names (and, optionally, default values) that will be defined within
the body of the function, and arguments
is an R
expression. Typically, the body is enclosed in curly braces, but it does
not have to be if the body is a single expression. For example, the
following two definitions are equivalent:body
f <- function(x,y) x + y f <- function(x,y) {x + y}
