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?
