Hi,
I just started with writing functions in R and so some questions popped up.
I provide some values as argument to my function such as:
function(a,b,c){}
Now i want that the function first checks if the arguments are valid for the
function. E.g argument "a" has to be a number in the range 0-1. How can that
easily done?
So far I have:
a <- as.numeric(a)
if(0 <= a && a <= 1)
to first check if a is a number...if not the function stops and gives an error
message. If it is a number it just continues...
But how to check the range?
Above there is the if-approach but then the rest of the function is exectued as
part of if (or else). Is there a simpler way without having the if-brackets
around the remaining code?
Just a check if the value is between 0 and 1 and if yes continue with the next
line if no abort the function with a error message? How can such an error
message be created?
thank you and best regards,
/Johannes
