Ista, Since you seem to know your stuff very well, how would you get 120 out of a function that gives you the factorial of 5, without using factorial(5)?
> Meanwhile, look at this example instead: > fac<-function(x){a<-1 > for(i in 1:x){ > a<-a*i > print(a)}} gives you 120, but you cannot access it after the end of execution. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Using-FUNCTION-to-create-usable-objects-tp4588681p4590549.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.
