Hello list, I found that system.time works correctly when I used "<-" to assign a value to a variable but when I happened to use "=" instead of "<-", R gave an error message: "Error in system.time(your argument here...)". It happened with a few functions I tried. Is this a bug or is there any circumstances that "=" cannot be used for assignment? Here is a real simple example.
fn1 <- function(x) x+1 r1 <- system.time(res1=fn1(2)) r2 <- system.time(res2 <- fn1(2)) Thank you.
