Hi the list,
I define a method that want to change an object without assignation
(foo(x) and not x<-foo(x)) using deparse and assign.
But when the argument of the method does not match *exactly* with the
definition of the generic function, assign does not work...
Anything wrong?
Christophe
#------ Does not work ------#
setGeneric("foo1",function(x,...){standardGeneric("foo1")})
setMethod(f="foo1",signature="numeric",definition=
function(x,y=1,...){
nameX<-deparse(substitute(x))
x <- x^2
assign(nameX,x,envir=parent.frame())
}
)
e <- 3
foo1(e,y=5)
cat(e)
#------ Does work ------#
setGeneric("foo2",function(x,...){standardGeneric("foo2")})
setMethod(f="foo2",signature="numeric",definition=
function(x,...){
nameX<-deparse(substitute(x))
x <- x^2
assign(nameX,x,envir=parent.frame())
}
)
e <- 3
foo2(e,y=5)
cat(e)
