Hi, I am now using R to implement a stepwise algrithom which includes a recursion function. e.g: -------------------------------- a = 1 *f_recursion* = function(id) { b = a + id; #: row A if (...){ a = a +1;* f_recursion*(b) } #: row B else{ .... } } ---------------------------------- I find that if the code '*f_recursion*(b)' in row B is invoked, that means 'a' equals to 2 now. But in the procedure of '*f_recursion*(b)', the 'a' still equals the initial value 1.
I don't know why, maybe it is a bug for R. Dose R support recursion function? Look forward to your reply, thanks a lot! -- All the best, Xiuquan Wang [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
