I suspect you are trying to find
your way into Circle 6 of 'The R
Inferno' but haven't yet got in.

Hello,
I am trying to understand why the FUNCTION used in several codes, won't
create the object after it finishes running the code.
For instance, look at the following:
Number<- function(x) {MyNumberIs<-x}
When I run
Number(5)
Everything goes well, except that if I try to call the object MyNumberIs, I
won't find it.
I understand that this function can assume many parameters, but why won't it
create the object?
Besides, if I try "assing", it won't work either, no matter how I do it.
Any advice/explanation?
Thankk you very much!
