The definition of simple in "Keep your class hierarchy simple and relevant to your actual problem" is quite difficult. For someone who has programmed the classes etc, it is quite simple to understand the heritance. But for example for someone else, who has to maintain the code and the classes, it might not.
I know how to define classes, and subclasses and generic function (and I know also the helpfunction "?"). It is more about the concept. What is the best way to write good code which is easy to understand by others, easy to maintain, but doesn't repeat the same generic function for every single subclass... -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Definition-of-generic-function-for-subclasses-tp4468837p4469145.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
