Hello, I'd like to 'do work' on data members upon construction (i.e. without implementing it in a get method). Is this the best way to create data member 'z' upon construction? I'm thinking if .z=paste(x,y) below gets more complex I'll run into issues.
setConstructorS3("MyClass", function(x=NA,y=NA,...) { this <- extend(Object(), "MyClass", .x=x, .y=y, .z=paste(x,y) ) }) setMethodS3("getX", "MyClass", function(this, ...) { this$.x; }) setMethodS3("getY", "MyClass", function(this, ...) { this$.y; }) setMethodS3("getZ", "MyClass", function(this, ...) { this$.z; }) > mc = MyClass('a','b') > mc$x [1] "a" > mc$y [1] "b" > mc$z [1] "a b" Thanks, ben [[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.
