Hi, I am working on a project, which contains S4 classes and subclasses. Lets assume the following organisation: A: S4 Class B,C: inherit from A D,E,F,G: inherit from B H,I: inherit from C
I want to define now a generic function, which returns me the name of the class. I can now write the function with "A" in the signature. Is there any reason to write the function for B,C, D,E,... with "B","C","D","E", .. in the signature ? I can imagine that it can become a mess if for example I write a function for "A" and a special function for "I" (lets assume, I is the only exception). Have you any best-work-pratice to share ?
