I've been reading some code from an example in a blog post (
http://www.maxdama.com/ here ) and I came across an operator that I hadn't
seen before. The author used a<<- operator to update a variable, like so:
ecov_xy<<- ecov_xy+decay*(x[t]*y[t]-ecov_xy)
At first I thought it was a mistake and tried replacing it with the usual<-
assignment operator, but I didn't get the same results. So what does the
double arrow<<- operator do?
Install the "fortunes" (if you haven't already) and see:
fortune("<<-")
cheers,
