Dear R users,
I wrote the following toy example to explain my problem :
a=0
f=function(x,y,z) {
if (a==0) x[1]+x[2]+y
if (a!=0) x[1]+x[2]+y+z
}
f(1:2,3)
I have not specified z and I get an error. Although a=0, R seems to want to
know z because it's in the expression x[1]+x[2]+y+z.
So I tried to put a default value :
a=0
f=function(x,y,z=0) {
if (a==0) x[1]+x[2]+y
if (a!=0) x[1]+x[2]+y+z
}
f(1:2,3)
Why isn't it working ? Sometimes everything is fine even though a parameter
is not specified.
Thanks a lot.
